How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditative character study of a woman who finds purpose and meaning in Africa's remote mountains, anchored by commitment to a cause greater than herself. The film balances wonder at the gorillas' world with the creeping dread of what her dedication will cost her.
