Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey (1988)
THE ENVIRONMENTAL WARS
ON New Year's Day 1978, a researcher on patrol in Rwanda's Park of the Volcanoes found the mutilated body of a male gorilla in the forest undergrowth. It was a gruesome sight. The body had multiple stab wounds from spear thrusts, and had been grossly mutilated. Like the victim of some bizarre torso murderer, the young silverback gorilla's head and both its hands had been savagely hacked off and carried away.
That event made headlines all over the world, because the gorilla was called Digit, a name given by the dedicated American scientist, Dian Fossey. She had known Digit since birth, 10 years before.
This fact would be the inspiration for the film "Gorillas in the mist: the story of Dian Fossey.

Review of B.B. films exhibited in Chile
By 1956 I was a child at primary school, and remember well that my colleagues mentioned that film. We were not permitted to go and watch the movie, but were concerned about it. B.B. was the sex symbol star by that time... to watch her was a shared aspiration by all her fans and to get it was a prowess. Unfortunately, I have never had the opportunity to watch a film starred by B.B. at a cinema room, nor by that time neither by now.
The film career of B.B. is extensive indeed, but only a very few titles were brought to Chile. "And God created Woman", "Viva Maria" (where B.B. acts as a female guerrilla leader during the Mexican Revolution) have been the only films I ever remember to be exhibited in public cinema rooms in Chile.
