Virunga
Free Outdoor Screenings
Feature Documentary | United Kingdom, Democratic Republic of Congo | 100 MINUTES | English, French, Swahili
Virunga is Africa’s oldest national park, a UNESCO world heritage site, and the last natural habitat for the endangered mountain gorilla. None of that will stop the business interests and rebel insurgencies lurking at the park’s doorstep. Documentarian Orlando von Einsiedel pairs gorgeous natural scenes from Virunga with riveting footage of the Congolese crisis, raising an ardent call for conservation as a vital human enterprise.
