The film focuses on the epic struggle that took place during the Battle of Gallipoli. The Dardanelles Strait was surrounded by British forces from the Allied Powers. The British, who landed at the Arıburnu coves, intended to advance into the interior. British attacks on many fronts were repelled with great sacrifice. Those behind the front lines also assisted those on the front lines with all their might. During this time, the Turkish navy ship Muavenet-i Milliye succeeded in sinking the British navy ship Goliath. These sacrifices would herald that victory was not far off.

Virunga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is Africa’s oldest national park, a UNESCO world heritage site, and a contested ground among insurgencies seeking to topple the government that see untold profits in the land. Among this ongoing power struggle, Virunga also happens to be the last natural habitat for the critically endangered mountain gorilla. The only thing standing in the way of the forces closing in around the gorillas: a handful of passionate park rangers and journalists fighting to secure the park’s borders and expose the corruption of its enemies. Filled with shocking footage, and anchored by the surprisingly deep and gentle characters of the gorillas themselves, Virunga is a galvanizing call to action around an ongoing political and environmental crisis in the Congo.
