Mountain Gorilla

Mountain gorillas and humans are alike in so many ways. Their stories mirror our own experiences of life, from sibling rivalry, single parents and clashes between fathers and sons, to fading leaders and young upstarts. For the first time, this series follows this charismatic species across the three countries that make up its home: Rwanda, Uganda and the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. Abandoned by her mother, baby Imoja now depends entirely on the care and attention of father Kwitonda. Will he be able to provide for her? Titus, the world's best-known silverback, is challenged by his own son, Rano. How far will Rano go to take his father's crown? Elsewhere, the series follows the work of gorilla doctors as they rescue injured animals and reveals the superhuman efforts being made to ensure the survival of this endangered species. (Viasat)
