With Films such as ‘The Other’s territory’ and ‘Claws and Teeth’, the audience discovered a new way to show the Animal World on its authentic day to day pace. Later, by illuminating the African nights with big headlights, Gérard Vienne succeeded in revealing the secret life of Big Cats.
This time, with the series Akagera, Gérard Vienne is proposing to live a breathtaking adventure by the side of the Film makers.
The Akagera area is a huge Natural Reserve in Rwanda. Volcanoes, Plains and Lakes are composing this very special region where are living two mythical creatures of the Animal World : Lions and Gorillas. Gérard Vienne and his crew have been observing and filming them for months. They have been witnesses of intimate Wild behaviours which they have always been respecting. By allowing us to penetrate into the intimacy of animals, the series incitates to takes aside legends and generally accepted ideas and to look at Wildlife in a new light.
