Audience Member Worst thing I've ever watched It focuses on a lunatic who's doing all this conspiracy and nonsense rather than Harambe himself Every rating is from the people who made this or have some relation to the people who made this Do not watch, would rate 0/5 if possible Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review gregory m R.I.P HARAMBE THINK BOUT YOUUUU! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Jeff M Powerful and though provoking! Watch it, review it, share it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/12/24 Full Review Garrett R A fantastically told story that should open our eyes for a societal change that continues to advance in the modern era. Erik Crown is a fantastic director that has a gift of capturing the passion of proactive, concerned citizens. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/07/24 Full Review United4Critters it's a must see doc for the public & zoo staff, so this preventable tragedy does not happen again. the people screaming etc upset himhot the kid. he should have been tranqed not killed if he wanted to hurt that kid he would have in the being Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/23 Full Review Jeff K My wife and I were devastated by the tragic death of this magnificent sentient creatures life, yet inspired by this empowering documentary, surely a film that will be remembered as a milestone in the evolution of animal welfare. While we expected the film to comprehensively tell the story of Haramabe's life and ultimate tragic killing, it truly conveyed a far greater reaching story. This heartfelt film also empowered us regarding the wider issues associated with Gorilla conservation, as well as the even more complex issues associated with the zoological world, aka "captive conservation". We strongly recommend this film and believe that by viewing it, the public will walk away empowered to be an even greater voice for our sentient animal friends that cannabis speak for themselves.
