Bama and the Lost Gorillas

About This Movie

Bama and the Lost Gorillas offers a unique glimpse into the life of Alfred Bama, a dedicated animal keeper. The film unfolds at a leisurely pace, immersing you in the lush Cameroon backdrop while exploring the rare connection between Bama and Nyango, the only Cross River gorilla in captivity. It’s poignant, really—a testament to the fragility of species that were once thought extinct, laced with moments of tenderness and urgency. The cinematography captures the dense forests beautifully, almost as if the environment itself is a character. It's not flashy but rather a raw look at conservation efforts and the bond that forms between humans and animals, which makes it distinctive in the documentary realm.
