This extraordinary documentary follows the award-winning wildlife cameraman Vianet Djenguet (Planet Earth III, Attenborough's Life In Colour) as he joins a team of conservationists in the Kahuzi-Biega National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo who are determined to save the critically endangered eastern lowland gorilla from extinction. A feature-length profile of the flamboyant life of one of the most celebrated actors, playwrights, composers, singers and wits of his generation, this features numerous quips from the man himself ('I was trained when very young as a show-off... and have continued triumphantly until this moment') as well as Rupert Everett reading from his letters and journals. The journey is full of fascinating details, such as how so many of the suitcases survived the fall - and how the contents were dealt with on the ground - as well as small moments of kindness and big turns in the investigation, such as the 'Helsinki warning' about potential explosives on a flight during that period, which was passed on to the US diplomatic staff but not the public at large.
