The World About Us

on BBC Two England

Gorilla
King Kong still rules our imagination, but watching our closest relatives in the wild reveals a gentler giant. Gorillas are the shyest and, sadly, the rarest of the great apes.
The mountain gorilla is running out of a place to live. The low-land gorilla, familiar in many zoos, may share that fate. America's Dian Fossey , and John Aspin all here in Britain are, like many others, endeavouring to dispel the apathy and ignorance that shrouds these intelligent and magnificent creatures.
Narrated and presented for BBC television by BARRY PAINE
Produced for the National Geographic Society by BARBARA JAMPEL
