Gorillas im Nebel (1988)

Gorillas im Nebel: Directed by Michael Apted. With Sigourney Weaver, Bryan Brown, Julie Harris, John Omirah Miluwi. The story of Dian Fossey, a scientist who came to Africa to study the vanishing mountain gorillas, and later fought to protect them.

“Sigourney Weaver in her u0026quot;role of a lifetimeu0026quot; as Dianne Fosse, savior of the Mountain Gorilla. Fosse, who with a background in physical therapy, left her home, life and fiancee to perform a census of mountain gorillas for The Leakey Foundation, turned her life into a crusade to both alter mankindu0026#39;s perception of the gorilla and save the species from mankind (in the form of poachers) as well. This is not a simple nice lady learns to cohabitate with funny apes, this is heart touching, powerful drama that shows Fosseu0026#39;s relentless courage in the face of bureaucracy, brutality, and superstition. I wished I believed in anything that much that I would risk my life for it.”
