Misunderstood from the start, labeled as monsters of the forest by early explorers and later by Hollywood movies, these largest of the apes are today facing extinction.

Join biologist Niall McCann as he heads to Uganda and treks through mountainous jungle terrain alongside the gorilla doctors who are on a medical mission to save these last great apes.
