Galiwango, a gorillas tale of survival and perseverance This animated mountain gorilla film traces Galiwangoâ€&#x;s journey as a captured baby Gorilla who is taken away from Uganda and illegally sold to a research facility into a western country. A group of scientists teach him how to use technology with the intent of profiting from the success of the project. Years later, Galiwangoâ€&#x;s gets back to Uganda and encounters where he encounters other gorillas. The story explores the dangers of living in a forest that is rife with conflict and greed. Close encounters with poachers and rebels drive the constant need by Galiwango and his friend to be alert and staying on the run as they struggle to stay alive. It is geared towards raising awareness to the plight of the last remaining mountain gorillas living in Uganda, Rwanda and the DRC. The film is written in Luganda, Uganda's most widely spoken local language.
