Weaver's dedication to Fossey's cause didn't end with filming. She became a supporter of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund that was established after Fossey's murder in 1985 and is its honorary chairwoman.
As we watch her in Gorillas Revisited with Sigourney Weaver journeying to the Rwandan forest where the film was made, her passion is palpable.
