Best movie ever watched, worth it's time!!! I recommend THIS, everything in this movie is awesome, the overall rating is the best ever, I hope you guys enjoy watching this awesome movie!!
Amazing documentary. All responsible citizens must watch how corporations like SOCO are destroying nature and communities by buying corrupt authorities off.
This film, after maybe 10 minutes in it got me, and it got me real hard. This didn't felt like a documentary. It made me question my life, it made me question how to make films. It was just astonishing. I was at the edge of my seat. **** off. Watch this movie.

The destruction to the nature though was very compelling, no matter whose fault it was, and made it a good film.…Expand
An insightful look at tragedy in the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The film is cinematic and plays like fiction - if only it actually were fiction.
