Description:
This documentary recounts the remarkable story of Koko, the only gorilla known to use sign language, and her enduring connection with Penny Patterson. What began as a university research project to teach a baby gorilla sign language blossomed into a profound relationship between Koko and Penny. For over four decades, Penny has cared for Koko, asserting that Koko offers unprecedented glimpses into animal consciousness. The film documents their life together, capturing over 2,000 hours of footage including Penny’s fight to prevent Koko's return to the zoo where she was born, her disagreements with academics who questioned her interpretations, and poignant moments like Koko grieving the loss of her kitten.
