Unreported World: Season 2019, Episode 7

2019 - 7: Forest of Fear

Unreported World ventures deep into the rainforests of the Republic of the Congo to meet members of the Baka tribe, who are under threat as the forests they've hunted in for generations are turned into a national park. Reporter Ade Adepitan and director Karim Shah investigate claims that heavily-armed 'eco-guards', part-funded by the World Wildlife Fund, are not only preventing the Baka from hunting the food which keeps them alive, but also abusing and intimidating them to the extent that the whole tribe now lives in fear.
