lesley g The documentary "Virunga" highlights the immense challenges faced in Virunga National Park, home to critically endangered mountain gorillas. brings to light the tireless efforts of conservationists and rangers protecting these gorillas from poaching and habitat loss. This film critiques the often unchecked pursuit of economic interests at the expense of irreplaceable natural heritage, underscoring the need for more responsible and sustainable approaches that value both people and the environment. It's pretty fascinating (and really infuriating) stuff.

This documentary brought me to tears many times. It was heartbreaking to see how some people have no compassion for life on earth and only care about themselves, but at the same time; it was beautiful to see that people are willing to devote their whole lives to protecting the world. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie was very informative! It demonstrates people devoting their lives to save the environment and the living organisms that live in it. This documentary contains situations that the audience could feel sympathy for the living organisms and how their species are slowly becoming extinct due to human interaction. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Captivating, intense, raw and emotional from the get-go. You're swallowed up in this chaotic way, swirled around in a world of corruption, greed & deep anger and somehow come out on the other side with a feeling of inspiration to do all you can to make a difference to not only this national park but to the world. Worth every second of my attention.
