The Lost Film of Dian Fossey(2002)
Twenty five years after her brutal murder in Rwanda, she is still a conservation icon.
The Lost Film of Dian Fossey Synopsis
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.
The Lost Film of Dian Fossey (2002) is a documentary film directed by Bob Campbell, released on May 8, 2002 with a runtime of 47m. It stars Dian Fossey and Sigourney Weaver.
