Synopsis
The study of gorillas became a life-long passion for scientist Dian Fossey - who many believed loved gorillas more than she loved people. Travelling to Africa to study the habits of the mountain gorilla, Fossey is determined to fend off the poachers whose greed has driven the animals almost to the point of extinction - but although her quest to save the majestic gorillas helps her form incredible bonds with them, it also brings terrible danger...
