New David Attenborough Gorilla Documentary Released on Netflix

On April 17, 2026, Netflix released a powerful documentary titled "A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough."

Produced by Silverback Films and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way Productions, this film is a moving sequel to Sir David’s 1978 encounter with a gorilla named Pablo.

Returning to Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, the documentary follows the descendants of that original gorilla troop using stunning 4K footage mixed with historical archives.

Narrated by Attenborough at age 99, the film explores the "Pablo Group’s" social dynamics while highlighting a major conservation success.

Through the lens of the Pablo Group, viewers witness the complex lives of these animals, from the struggles of the dominant silverback Gicurasi to the resilience of the younger members.

This documentary is more than just a wildlife study; it is a testament to the success of collaborative conservation.
