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.

Oppførelsen av Shakespeares Julius Cæsar kommer til en slutt, og utøverne blir belønnet med frydefullt applaus. Lysene går ut, skuespillerne forlater scenen og går tilbake til sine celler. De er alle innsatte i det romerske maksimum sikkerhet fengselet Rebibbia. En av dem kommenterer: "Helt siden jeg oppdaget kunsten har denne cellen virkelig blitt et fengsel". Denne dokumentaren dveler ikke ved de forbrytelser disse mennene har begått i deres "virkelige" liv, men heller trekker paralleller mellom dette klassiske drama og verden i dag, beskriver engasjementet som vises av alle de involverte og viser hvordan deres personlige håp og frykt også strømme inn forestillingen.

Before Google, Yahoo and even Apple, before the Silicon Valley cliché of informal dress code, skateboards running the corridors and wild creativity became commonplace, one company embodied the digital economy lifestyle and business style: the one firm coming out of the Age of Aquarius was Atari. The story of Atari is two-thirds the story of Nolan Bushnell, founder and visionary, and one-third the first and probably biggest boom and bust of the new economy some 20 years before the new economy even existed. Atari was showing that technology is cool, way before the personal computer revolution took place and they were reaching out to an ever-growing audience with something that is still cool today: video games. Atari literally introduced the digital world to the mass consciousness.
