The man who held hands with gorillas returns 25 years later—and the tea is HOT.
David Attenborough recounts his very personal experiences with the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. Ever since they were discovered over a century ago, these remarkable creatures have been threatened by loss of habitat, poaching, disease and political instability. But despite all odds their numbers have increased. David tells the extraordinary tale of how conservationists like Dian Fossey have battled to save the mountain gorilla from the brink of extinction.
Acting
Attenborough's voice cracks with age and memory—devastating.
Direction
Seamless weaving of 1970s footage with modern Rwanda.
Editing
That cut between young David and 2006 David? Rude. Effective.
