00:01I remember the first time I met mountain gorillas.
00:07We found a group of females and juveniles in a small peering.
00:12And to my astonishment, they allowed me to approach.
00:18I felt a weight on my feet.
00:20And I looked down there, there was little Pablo.
00:24Many people would think it was the most important sequence in that series.
00:28If not actually in my filmed life.
00:35I only knew Pablo as a three-year-old.
00:38By the time he was 18, he broke away to form his own group.
00:44The Pablo Group.
00:47Almost 50 years later, I have the chance to tell Pablo's story.
00:52And that of his descendants who still inhabit those mountain slopes in the Virungus.
01:04Get your rassi.
01:06Tata.
01:07They are the heart of this gorilla family.
01:11But there are others waiting in line.
01:16This is a huge animal.
01:18Just one thumb from his fist could crack your head over.
01:27A newborn is a source of fascination.
01:32The powerful sense of togetherness and belonging is expressed in a chain of tender physical contacts.
01:43There is more meaning and mutual understanding in exchanging the plants of the gorilla.
01:51Than with any other animal I know.
01:54Soon as you will.
02:02To meet you like by 2025.
02:13Oh my Gряal.
