It was known as “the place where Noah left his Ark:” 4,000 square kilometers of lush floodplains in central Mozambique, packed with wild animals. But 15 years of civil war took a heavy toll and conservationists today are battling to restore the park to its former glory. Winner of the Gold Dolphin Award for the Environmental and Ecology (Cannes Corporate Media and TV Awards) and Best Documentary Award (Brazilian Tourism Film Festival). This film will be shown in Portuguese.
