Africa's Lost Eden Gorongosa

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-many species were almost completely wiped out for meat. As documented in a new National Geographic Channel film, conservationists today are battling to restore the park to its former glory, and save it from present-day threats that could destroy it forever. This world premiere screening will be followed by a discussion moderated by journalist and Hardball host Chris Matthews. Panelists will include James Byrne, producer, Judy Oglethorpe, World Wildlife Fund, Fernando Sumbana, Jr., Mozambique's Minister of Tourism, and Gregory C. Carr, who has pledged $40 million to rebuild the park so it can serve as a source of tourist income for the local population.
