And I was just about to start talking
0:04
when I felt a hand come on on on my head
0:08
and she twisted my head so she could
0:11
look straight in my eyes.
0:15
After months of planning, we traveled to
0:18
Rwanda for one of the last shoots of the
0:22
series.
0:24
We had no idea what we were about to
0:27
witness.
0:35
There's one ape, however, that spends
0:37
nearly all its time on the ground. It
0:40
lives here 10,000 ft up on the flanks of
0:43
the volcanoes of central Africa on the
0:45
borders of Rwanda and Zire.
0:49
The gorilla,
0:51
you don't stare at a gorilla. That's a
0:54
challenging thing to do. So you keep
0:56
your head down and you make these those
0:59
vocalizations
1:01
all the time
1:06
and that's a sort of conversational
1:09
acknowledgement that you're in their
1:11
presence.
1:14
It seems really very unfair that man
1:18
should have chosen the gorilla to
1:20
symbolize all that is aggressive and
1:23
violent when that's the one thing that
1:26
the gorilla is not and that we are.
1:30
And John said go over there and when you
1:34
get to them start talking about the
1:37
thumb and the forefinger and how it was
1:40
important to grip things right. I said,
1:44
>> next thing we know is that her two
1:46
youngsters come out and actually sit on
1:50
him.
1:58
There was a moment when you could barely
2:01
only saw the top of David's head,
2:03
literally.
2:05
And my jaw dropped. I mean, everyone's
2:07
jaw dropped. Didn't expect this at all.
2:15
I honestly don't know how long it was. I
2:18
suspect it was about 10 minutes or
2:20
quarter even quarter of an hour. I was
2:22
simp simply transported. I mean, you
2:25
just didn't encounter time. this is
2:27
extraordinary acceptance.
2:39
And I was just about to start talking
2:41
about the the opposition of the thumb
2:42
and the forefinger when I felt a hand
2:45
come out on on my head. And it was a
2:49
adult female and she twisted my head so
2:53
she could look straight in my eyes and
2:56
looked inside my mouth and put a finger
2:58
in my mouth
3:00
and then made this belch vocalization.
3:03
So I did my best best to respond and you
3:06
saw her look into one of his eye and
3:10
then into his other arm and I thought my
3:12
god his head's going to come off and we
3:14
haven't finished the series yet which
3:16
was a very uncharitable thing to think
3:19
and I left called back through the
3:23
underest and I said
3:25
that was one of the most extraordinary
3:27
moments of my life. Was it wonderful? He
3:29
said well we got a got a bit.
3:32
I said, "Only a bit?" He said, "Well,
3:34
yes." I was waiting for you. I don't
3:36
want to run a film when you're in the
3:37
middle of explaining about the thumb and
3:39
the forefinger.
3:46
Extraordinary really. I mean, it was one
3:48
of the most privileged moments of our
3:51
life really.
