Mountain Gorilla
is a 2010 three-part television series produced by the
BBC Natural History Unit
that features intimate footage of the last remaining wild population of the eponymous
great ape
. The BBC filmmakers were granted access to habituated groups of
mountain gorillas
in their highland stronghold:
DR Congo
's
Virunga National Park
and
Uganda
's
Bwindi Impenetrable Forest
. The cameras follow field scientists, veterinary teams, and anti-poaching patrols for six months as they watch over the gorillas, providing medical care, protection, and observations on their daily lives. The study of these apes was initiated by the
primatologist
Dian Fossey
in the late 1960s.
Mountain Gorilla
is narrated by actor
Patrick Stewart
and was first broadcast on 22 August 2010 on
BBC Two
.
