- Summary:
- A report on Damian Aspinall's project to release once-captive gorillas back into the wild, specifically into a forest in Gabon, West Africa. The multimillionaire of Kent, England runs a conservation group, the Aspinall Foundation, and believes keeping animals locked up in a zoo is immoral. After attempting this experiment for a year, and just one month after placing the gorillas into the wild, they discovered five females and one child gorilla died, proving Aspinall's critics correct: the wild is a not necessarily a place where it is safe for domesticated animals to roam. Includes interviews with: Damian Aspinall and Tara Stoinski, president of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund.
