Synopsis – What to Expect from “Gorillas in the Mist”
Gorillas in the Mist is a 1988 drama film based on the book of the same name by naturalist Dian Fossey. The film follows the true story of Fossey’s life in the African jungle as she works to protect the endangered mountain gorillas of Rwanda from poachers and other threats.
The film starts with Fossey (Sigourney Weaver) arriving in Rwanda and meeting her guide, Sembagare (John Omirah Miluwi). She quickly immerses herself in the environment and begins her research. She is quickly accepted by the local gorilla population, and bonds with the silverback leader, Digit.
Fossey faces numerous challenges as she works to protect the gorillas. She is met with hostility from the local poachers and the government, who view her as a nuisance. She also struggles to gain the trust of her colleagues, who are more interested in making money than protecting the gorillas.
Fossey’s dedication and bravery eventually pay off, as she is able to secure the gorillas’ safety. However, her success comes at a high cost. She is threatened by poachers and eventually killed. Her death is a tragic reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of protecting endangered species.
The film is a powerful and moving story of a woman’s courage and determination to protect the gorillas she loves. It is a story of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity
