SERIES 4: HOPE
Wildlife Conservation Film Festival, NYC
Tuesday, October 14
8:30-10:30 p.m.
Sir David Attenborough narrates a journey through the Volcanoes National Park, 47 years after Dian Fossey pioneered a new path for mountain gorilla conservation. Today, a dedicated team of trackers and anti-poaching patrols follow the great apes 365 days a year, risking their lives in Rwanda's difficult and sometimes dangerous terrain. Only ruins of Fossey's original Karisoke Research Centre remain -- but her legacy lives on.
This short film touches on the impacts of human-human conflicts in the Rwanda/Congo area and how these conflicts affect the trackers and the gorillas as well as the interaction between the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund and local human communities. The program stresses the need to support both the human and gorilla communities and how they can help each other survive.
