[edit] Information

Dian Fossey spent 19 years studying the rare mountain gorillas of Africa. Heroine of the feature film GORILLAS IN THE MIST, her real life read like a Hollywood movie script with an intense romance and a consuming passion for saving the gorillas, ending in a brutal, mysterious murder. "Neither destiny nor fate took me to Africa," wrote Fossey from her camp in Rwanda. "I had a deep wish to see and live with wild animals in a world that hadn't yet been completely changed by humans." Uncompromising and determined, Fossey achieved much more by putting the plight of the mountain gorillas of Rwanda on the map, thereby insuring their survival for generations to come.
