Film - Gorillas in the Mist
Dian Fossey (January 16, 1932 – c. December 27, 1985) was an American zoologist who undertook an extensive study of gorilla groups over a period of 18 years.  She studied them daily in the mountain forests of Rwanda, initially encouraged to work there by famous anthropologist Louis Leakey.  She was murdered in 1985; the case remains open (unsolved).

After studying Swahili and auditing a class on primatology during the eight months it took to get her visa and funding, Fossey arrived in Nairobi in December 1966.  Fossey acquired the necessary provisions and an old canvas-topped Land Rover which she named “Lily.”  Fossey began her field study at Kabara, in the Congo in early 1967.  Living in tents on mainly tinned food, once a month Fossey would hike down the mountain to “Lily” and make the two-hour drive to the village of Kikumba to restock.
