A 59-year-old gorilla and the researcher who raised her decades ago, reunited one last time.

Please note that this episode features a fully scripted, fictional narrative designed to creatively explore the profound emotional and intuitive capacities of great apes.

Western lowland gorillas can live into their 50s in professional care — remarkable longevity that lets bonds like this one span entire human lifetimes. The forehead-to-forehead gesture shown in this story is a real, documented behavior among gorillas, reserved for their closest, most trusted relationships.

To create a highly immersive learning environment, we combine carefully curated visuals with our extensively researched, original storytelling and highly transformative editing.

If you had raised an animal from infancy and learned decades later she was dying, would you drop everything to be there? Let us know below.
