DVD Reviews of Nature: Koko - A Conversation With Koko
DVD Review: Gorilla Feelings
Summary: 5 Stars
Amazing story of a gorilla that learned to sign and be understood by humans. A gorilla who loved a pet and grieved it's loss deeply.
DVD Review: Wonderous
Summary: 5 Stars
Knowing that there are gorillas that sign is one thing, watching it take place is quite another. There are so many elements to Koko's life that the public or her fans never get to see and this movie elaborates on those. From signing to painting to pet kittens this movie has it all and is a must have if you are curious about this type of human/animal research.DVD Review: Koko

Summary: 5 Stars
I showed this to my cultural anthropology class as an introduction to language. They loved it. It gave them a whole different perspective on primate behavior and intelligence.
Description of Nature: Koko - A Conversation With Koko
This program doesn't just talk with an ape, it carries on an intimate, decades-long dialogue with her. The story documents the incredible development of a gorilla named Koko, whose learning of American Sign Language (and understanding of spoken English) gives new meaning to the ideas of animal intelligence and inter-species communication. Witness an animal who not only expresses wants and needs but also exhibits creativity and complex, human-like emotions. After being told that her pet kitten died in an accident, Koko demonstrates deep and sincere sadness-and seems to express exactly that when left alone that night. Most amazingly, she maintains a deep and enduring friendship with her human teacher and playmate, Dr. Penny Patterson. But will Dr. Patterson's innovative experiment end with Koko? Or will Koko give birth and transmit her knowledge to a new ape generation? Narrated by Martin Sheen, this inspiring, unforgettable program seeks the answers. The Gorilla Foundation - The mission of the Foundation is to bring interspecies communication to the public, in order to save gorillas from extinction, and inspire our children to create a better future for all the great apes. Established in 1976, The Gorilla Foundation/Koko.org promotes the protection, preservation and propagation of gorillas. Project Koko, a primary focus of TGF/Koko.org, involves teaching a modified form of American Sign Language to two lowland gorillas, Koko and Michael. In addition, TGF/Koko.org is developing a unique preserve for gorillas on the island of Maui, Hawaii.General DVDs
