NATURE retraces the life of Titus, silverback leader, from birth to present reign, spanning a tumultuous period in the history of a species and a nation in The Gorilla King. In 1974, renowned primatologist Dian Fossey introduced a young researcher named Kelly Stewart to a gorilla family Fossey was studying. Stewart, daughter of actor Jimmy Stewart, was the first to see a tiny new baby gorilla. She named him Titus, and her journal entry began the up-close observation of his life that researchers have continued to this day. Witness Titus s turbulent life story, from orphan to ruler and the challenge to his throne today. Part of the 26th season of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning series produced by Thirteen/WNET New York for PBS, “The Gorilla King” premieres Sunday, April 20, at 8 p.m. ET (check local listings). Major support provided by Canon U.S.A. Inc., Toyota, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/nature « less
