BBC Mountain Gorilla

2010 NR 3h 00m 7.9

Three-part television documentary about the lives of the 700 remaining mountain gorillas in Africa.

Patrick Stewart narrates in three episodes the story of some of the groups of mountain gorillas, a very rare primate, in their central African jungle territories near the Great Lakes, and intensive research and conservation efforts facing human threats. Diet and behavior differs somewhat between the volcanic homeland in Rwanda and the jungle in Uganda, but family and social life is as complex and dramatic.
