A GORILLA STORY: TOLD BY DAVID ATTENBOROUGH

About the Film

Documentary | 90 MIN

This intimate documentary blends the remarkable story of David Attenborough’s first encounter with the baby gorilla Pablo with a deep dive into how Pablo’s direct descendants are doing today in the mountains of Rwanda.

Weaving together contemporary and archival footage of the gorilla group and narrated by Attenborough – including excerpts from his 1978 journals – A GORILLA STORY is packed with extraordinary gorilla behavior never filmed before.

Directed by Oscar®-winner James Read (MY OCTOPUS TEACHER) and produced by the Emmy-winning, veteran nature documentarian Alastair Fothergill (LIFE ON OUR PLANET) and Silverback Films, A GORILLA STORY is a tale of hope and joy.
