Synopsis
Documentary that examines the complex relationship -- both caring and cruel -- between human beings and gorillas, from the earliest interactions to today. Includes a behind-the-scenes tour of the Wildlife Conservation Society's new Congo Gorilla Forest exhibit, a $43 million, 6.5 acre African rain forest built in New York City's Bronx Zoo. This look into the lives of the Zoo's 23 western lowland gorillas is combined with historical footage, Hollywood film clips and an expedition to Central Africa to report on a number of important field projects in the Congo Basin.
