Virunga Page #4

Synopsis: 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.

to see beautiful vehicles driving by.

We went to see who it was

and there were a few whites

and Captain Feruzi.

He's a military intelligence agent.

We were shocked to see him doing

a presentation to the people of the lake.

He told people that,

"If you accept SOCO here...

they will build

universities, roads and schools...

and you will have access

to cultivate in the park...

since at that moment

the park will be declassified."

All this frightens us locals.

It says, "Look, soldiers are here and

they could harm you if you don't comply."

Ndakasi!

Ndeze is expressing that...

she's not... happy because...

the breakfast is not ready yet.

Ndeze is smiling.

Ah, Kaboko!

Oil is an exhaustible resource

whereas fauna and flora

are inexhaustible resources.

Even if they are allowed to

exploit the oil,

it will one day come to an end.

But the park will remain

through the years.

From generation to generation,

people will see this park.

Big boss!

Josue!

Look how big he's grown.

He opened the door for you!

Now they need you!

They know you are important

in that sector where you can help us.

They also know that you are

"the right hand" of the park director.

Do you understand?

This means, "We're buying you."

First accept and let us collaborate

and then they will be in the position to

give you whatever you are asking for...

While we are working together,

and you hear things,

you'll feed us information secretly.

Directly to you. Whenever I can.

We are trying to gauge

Emmanuel de Merode's position.

So what are we talking about?

3,000 dollars.

3,000? Okay.

You'll get your share

and no one will know a thing!

Captain Feruzi claims to work

for SOCO security contractors.

He is offering bribes

to work against the park.

This corruption threatens

everything we're working for.

Okay, I'm going to the bathroom,

I'll meet you downstairs.

It is the goal to check if we have oil

and then we compare.

Conservation, how much is it worth?

Oil, how much is it worth?

Do we start production?

But these people have their own vision

of the park's future.

They've been looking after it

for almost a century.

Moreover, it is full of rebels,

full of poachers, full of mess.

It is completely absurd.

The best solution, effective for everyone,

is to recolonize these countries.

There is no other solution.

For things to go well,

we have to manage them

because they are not able

to manage themselves.

They are like children, actually.

They aren't mature enough, I'd say.

You are tough with the Congolese people.

No, no, I know them too well.

There is this guy, who blocks,

because he's Belgian,

from the royal family, etc.
