wild, crazy, ultimately inspiring story
16 July 2023
This is a pretty wild story and I'd recommend it to anyone. I didn't know about Dian Fossey before watching this, but she's basically the person who saved the Eastern Gorilla. She started a research center to live with them and helped rehabilitate their image from King Kong to a creature that is actually playful and gentle despite its size. She learned how to communicate with them, and generations of researchers learned from her. Definitely somebody worth knowing about.

This is also a whodunnit story of her death that goes through several twists and turns. It stays interesting through all 3 episodes and I looked forward to continuing my journey through them.

It isn't just talking heads either, they have a lot of contemporaneous video and photos because she was involved with National Geographic back in the day and they sent filmographers. The interviews are pretty interesting too, though.
