Silverback

Award-winning wildlife cameraman Vianet Djenguet has been invited by a team of conservationists from the Kahuzi-Biega National Park in Democratic Republic of Congo for a grueling but vital mission in a last-ditch effort to protect the eastern lowland gorilla, a critically endangered great ape and the largest primate on Earth. 

By living amongst this group for three months, will the habituation of this gorilla family – coupled with Vianet’s extraordinary journey – succeed in the effort to save the species from extinction?
