Gorillas in the Mist

Episode Description from the Publisher

This time Gari and Mel critique Gorillas in the Mist, the 1988 true story of primatologist Dian Fossey, whose remarkable conservation work with Mountain Gorillas and unsolved murder have become the stuff of legend. Mel takes us through the true story to learn just how sanitised the movie is compared to the real history. Gari then takes us behind the scenes on the remarkable production where Sigourney Weaver and the crew really filmed with Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda, often taking risks you wouldn't believe. It's an episode you don't want to miss. If you like the show, we'd love it if you'd support us and leave us a REVIEW and SUBSCRIBE. Thanks! SUBSCRIBE: Apple | Spotify | Google | RSS
