Dian Fossey - Woman in the Mists

Dian Fossey devoted her life to studying the mountain gorillas of Virunga National Park in Rwanda. She was an outspoken advocate of the gorillas, a value that may have cost her life. She was murdered in 1985, but the movie "Gorillas in the Mist" starring Sigourney Weaver has immortalized her cause.
