Virunga

From Netflix, up for an Academy Award for best documentary. Hard to believe it's even real or really happening.
Scores of people pushed off their land, even out of displaced person camps so that what should be a gorgeously preserved nature preserve can be searched for oil by an English company (SOCO).
Not to mention one of the last wild habitats of the mountain gorilla. Hard to watch all the way through, never clear who will win and it's still not. Powerful film.
