This lively introduction to the Congo rain forest follows in the footsteps of WCS researchers as they track the elusive lowland gorilla. A hidden world of remarkable beauty is revealed along with the dedicated individuals who are working to protect it. The film ends as the researchers come face to face with a gorilla troop in a forest clearing. The screen pulls away and the audience experiences the same intimate encounter with the gorillas in the Congo Gorilla Forest Exhibit.
