Mountain GorillaMiniseries
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.
