The Lost Film of Dian Fossey

In this documentary, photographer and filmmaker Bob Campbell captures the activities of Dian Fossey as she forms a bond with the mountain gorillas of Rwanda. With 70,000 feet of film shot between 1968 and 1972, the documentary compiles highlights that were not included in Fossey's earlier presentation for Gorillas in the Mist.

The film not only documents Fossey's interactions with the gorillas but also provides insight into her methods and the context of her work during a pivotal time for conservation. Although some of her techniques may contrast with contemporary conservation practices, her influence on eco-activism and research remains significant. This documentary serves as an important record of her contributions and the challenges she faced in her mission to protect these animals.
