Living with Gorillas

Description

Journeying into the heart of equatorial Africa, this program joins Spanish primatologist Magdalena Bermejo and her husband, cinematographer German Illera, as Bermejo conducts groundbreaking research into the lives of western lowland gorillas. Viewers come to understand the discipline and perseverance required for such observation, as numerous challenges (including swarms of sweat bees and roving ants) try the patience of the researchers. Ultimately, however, these distractions yield to detailed views of a noble silverback and the gorilla group over which he presides.
