In the forested depths of eastern Congo lies Virunga National Park, one of the most bio-diverse places in the world and home to the last of the mountain gorillas. In this wild, but enchanted environment, a small and embattled team of park rangers - including an ex-child soldier turned ranger, a carer of orphan gorillas and a Belgian conservationist - protect this UNESCO world heritage site from armed militia, poachers and the dark forces struggling to control Congo's rich natural resources. When the newly formed M23 rebel group declares war in May 2012, a new conflict threatens the lives and stability of everyone and everything they've worked so hard to protect.
Leave your thoughts about Virunga.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThis is not a nature documentary, though there are some beautiful scenes of wild spaces. This is war journalism, tense and upsetting. |
| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldOutstanding but shattering docu set in war-torn Congo. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisShowcasing the best and the worst in human nature, Orlando von Einsiedel’s devastating documentary “Virunga” wrenches a startlingly lucid narrative from a sickening web of bribery, corruption and violence. |
| We Got This CoveredAnthony MarcusaA powerful documentary and gripping story, Virunga is a deftly-executed film that follows one of the most biologically diverse regions on Earth as violent militias and greedy companies look to take advantage of an unstable government. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlThe fights Virunga documents couldn't feel more urgent. This is one of the year's most compelling and important films. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussThe publicity campaign has focused on the movie's beautiful and endlessly watchable gorillas, but director Orlando von Einseidel's film is more 'Citizenfour' than Animal Planet: It's not so much a wildlife lament as an activist exposé. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinThe conflict in the Congo, as depicted here, is more than your everyday fight. It's a war for the soul of this place, on powerful, urgent display. |
| IndiewireEric KohnEver as it casts their future prospects in doubt, Virunga concludes by envying the apes’ perspective most of all. |
| Independent Online (South Africa)Theresa SmithCreates a startling and tense glimpse into what it feels like for the regular folk of the area when the militias come rolling in and mortars start exploding. |
| Moveable FestStephen Saito"Virunga" crackles with excitement as much as incitement as it vividly allows the audience to experience the park rangers' struggle to preserve their country's fragile infrastructure firsthand. |
