Dian Fossey

Follow comedian Ellen DeGeneres as she fulfills her dream of protecting Fossey’s legacy by building the The Ellen DeGeneres Campus of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund in Rwanda.

Celebrates 30 years of televised specials by The National Geographic Society.

From 1968 to 1972, photographer and filmmaker Bob Campbell documented the activities of Dian Fossey as she developed a cross-species bond with Rwandan mountain gorillas. Campbell shot 70,000 feet of film, but only a fraction of his material was edited into the lecture presentation that preceded Fossey's Gorillas in the Mist. This program compiles highlights from the previously unreleased footage, offering an unforgettable glimpse into the gorilla community and Fossey's relationship with it. Her methods may not entirely jibe with those of modern conservationists, but there is no denying the profound impact of her work on current research and eco-activism.

Dian Fossey est célèbre pour avoir sauvé les gorilles de montagne de l'extinction. Sa vie de pionnière était complexe et ses ennemis nombreux. En 1985, Fossey a été brutalement assassinée dans son chalet isolé dans les montagnes. Depuis, un homme a porté le lourd fardeau de l'injustice. Cette série est constituée des bservations de Fossey consignées dans ses écrits et portées à l'écran par Sigourney Weaver.

To explore the mysteries of man's closest relatives, three women set out years ago, Dian Fossey to find gorillas in Rwanda, Jane Goodall to find chimpanzees in Tanzania and Biruté Galdikas to find orangutans in Borneo. They changed the way we see the world and together inspired generations... More than 50 years ago, Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey and Birute Galdikas ventured on a solitary expedition far into the bush. Cut off from the outside world, they lived in the company of our closest ancestors, the hominids. Over the next few decades, they made history, experienced personal tragedies and inspired a new generation of young women who followed in their footsteps into the depths of the rainforest to explore the origins of man and save a vanishing world. Trimmings is a natural history adventure film for the whole family.

For decades, the National Geographic Society has presented specials on nature, foreign culture, scientific breakthroughs, and things which fall under the general category of "neat stuff." Each special is self-contained.
