Leonardo DiCaprio is coming to Netflix — but not in the way you might expect.
The actor is teaming up with the streaming giant to release Virunga, a documentary directed by Orlando von Einsiedel that takes a look at gorilla preservation in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Virunga National Park, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie follows a team of park rangers, one of whom is a former child soldier, as they try to protect endangered mountain gorillas from poachers.
The movie, executive produced by DiCaprio, will hit Netflix and theaters in Los Angeles and New York City on Nov. 7.
“Leo intuitively understands that there is nothing like the power of film to reach people’s hearts and minds,” Ted Sarandos, Neflix’s chief content officer, said in a statement. “With Virunga, we’ll work with Leo to introduce viewers around the world to an incredible, gripping story that will have audiences guessing right up until the final act.”
