" She left everything she knew and entered a world few have ever seen. To save a wonderous creature from the cruelty of men, she went further than anyone dared. Some say she went too far. Based on the life story, of animal rights activist, Dian Fossy, what starts as a journey to Africa, turns into a mission to save low mountain gorillas, from possible extinction. Along the way, she has to deal with bureaucracy, and animal traffickers, and may risk her own life. If she’s not careful. Goril"
