In a land of beauty, wonder and danger, Dr. Dian Fossey would follow a dream, fall in love and risk her life to save the mountain gorilla from extinction…
On Saturday, October 17, Fossey’s journey will be remembered and celebrated as the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International (DFGFI) hosts—as the feature component of its 2nd annual fundraiser, The Green Carpet—the only theatre re-screening of the original movie, Gorillas in the Mist, starring Sigourney Weaver. All proceeds will benefit the Fund’s conservation and research initiatives.
The star-studded “Green Carpet” entrance begins at 6 p.m. with the screening of Gorillas in the Mist slated to begin at 7 p.m. on the Big Screen of Symphony Hall. Ms. Weaver, long-time Honorary Chair of DFGFI, will open the screening with a taped welcome to guests, speaking from the heart about the importance of the Fund to her personally.
Ambassador and Mrs. Andrew Young, Larry Ellison and other special guests, including Academy Award nominee Natalie Portman and actress Mila Jovovich, star of A Perfect Getaway and the soon-to-be-released The Fourth Kind, are expected to attend.
