Bio Oko applauded the Expedition Neuron film

A packed auditorium at Prague's Bio Oko cinema witnessed the premiere of the film Prales zítřka (The Rainforest of Tomorrow). Director Michal Gálik shot it during the Neuron Expedition Dzamba Ya Lobi. Its gala cinema premiere took place on 21 June as part of a discussion of Tomáš Jůnek's expeditions to Congo.

The evening opened with a talk by Tomáš Jůnek about the current economic situation in Africa, which is also reflected in the presence of militant movements and in the state of nature conservation. In the next part, director Michal Gálik described the problems that dogged the expedition across its three returns. Even so, he managed to shoot a half-hour documentary that neatly sums up the effort of the Neuron Expedition Dzamba Ya Lobi: protecting natural wealth, fighting poachers of endangered animals, mapping the movement of wild game and establishing cooperation with international conservation organisations.

The film's premiere met with a great response and applause, and the interest was confirmed by the discussion that followed with the film-makers, who explained particular situations. They admitted that they are fighting the poaching of protected monkeys and that they have never tried monkey meat themselves. The evening closed with an auction of two photographs by Tomáš Jůnek, the proceeds of which will go towards further conservation work in Congo.

The Neuron Foundation was a co-organiser of the evening at Bio Oko and contributed a total of CZK 1,500,000 from its patrons' donations to the Neuron Expedition Dzamba Ya Lobi.
