Named Outstanding Film Documentary by the Genesis Awards for its exceptional study of animal issues. Filmed in the lush mountain cloud forests of Rwanda, Africa, Mountain Gorilla provides an amazing encounter with the highly social species that is the largest of all primates. Focusing their day-to-day life, eat, nap, travel, eat, interact. Eat: that’s a typical routine for adult gorillas. But for rambunctious three-year-olds, the routine is more like play, play, play. Play as they tumble, swing, wrestle and twirl. Overseeing all of the troop’s activities is the proud, massive silverback male whose dominance is unchallenged. This film takes an intimate look into the animal kingdom brings viewers deep into the Rwandan mountain forests to follow the inner workings of a gorilla population. This documentary, originally shown in IMAX theaters.
