The Conversation (1974)

For All Ages
This is a movie for all ages. An educational film for children and parents alike, single men or women will benefit too. This film is informative about the intelligence and emotional range of gorillas. It is touching to see the gorilla's discribe in their own words, using American Sign Language, the assasination of their mothers and the grief felt with the loss of a pet and friend, to see them paint and name their own at work, even the creation of games to play. This is indeed a movie for everyone.

CUCKOO FOR KOKO !
This is a great film which documents the lives and sign language abilities of Koko and Michael, two very intelligent Gorilla's. Michael has since past away, but Koko is alive and well at the age of 31. She has a signing capability of 1000 words and also understands 2000 words of spoken English. This film won an award for the best PBS documentary of the year. For more information on Koko, please go to:[URL]
