Product Description

Named Outstanding Film Documentary by the Genesis Awards (the major award for works about animal issues) and filmed in the lush mountain cloud forests of Rwanda, Africa, Mountain Gorilla provides an amazing encounter with the highly social species that is the largest of all primates. Eat, nap, travel, eat, interact, eat: that's a typical routine for adult gorillas. But for rambunctious three-year-olds, the routine is more like play, play, play, play as they tumble, swing, wrestle and twirl. Overseeing all of the troop's activities is the proud, massive silverback male whose dominance is unchallenged - until a young silverback tries to exert his newfound sense of power.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Mountain Goirlla DVD, April 7, 2005

By	Angela (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best videos available that provides a lot of real amazing footage of these amazing critically endangered species. I first rented this DVD and then immediately bought it. A must have. The only thing it did not mentioned is that you can help support the anti-poaching patrols and rangers that protect the park by going to the Dian Fossey website gorillafund.org.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take it for what it is, May 5, 2005

By	Robert Tipton "Gorilla Protector" (Aviano, Itlay) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is NOT Mighty Joe Young or King Kong, PERIOD! This is a documentary of mountain gorillas. Repeat, a DOCUMENTARY! This film was intended to educate people on the daily life of the gorillas, not provide scripted action. It is only boring to those who do not appreciate the gorillas for who they are, and wish to learn about them. That said, this film does what the producers intended it to do. Hopefully, people WILL learn about the plight of the mountain gorillas, and do their part in the preservation process. We cannot afford to lose these magestic creatures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A stunning movie!, January 9, 2007

By	Carol A. Padgett "wise woman" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The history, biology and photography makes this DVD well-worth owning. These beautiful endangered beings need us to help tell their story. I highly recommend this quality presentation.
