Silverback vs. Poachers: The Fight for Their Habitat

High in the volcanic peaks of Virunga, a rare family of mountain gorillas faces a struggle for survival that mirrors the human tragedy in the valley below. As hundreds of thousands of refugees seek safety on the lava fields of Zaire, the forest home of the silverback is shrinking by the day. This story follows brothers Luawa and Rafiki from their early days grieving a fallen leader to their own time as protectors of the troop. From the quiet moments of a mother comforting her snared infant to the heartbreaking reality of losing a magnificent silverback to an AK-47, this look at the African wilderness shows why the bond between humans and our closest relatives has never been more critical.
