A forest paradise covered by a sea of clouds that constantly caresses the treetops, where the protagonists of our story live: Joy and the Nyakagezi family. Ranger and mother of two children, Favour (4) and Abie (2), Joy dedicates her days to protect the Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and more specifically to the only family of mountain gorillas that lives in its forests: the Nyakagezi family. This is the story of a mother who transmits to her children the values of wildlife conservation, so that in the future little Favour and Abie will follow her legacy and go into the forest to protect their other family. The one with whom we share 98% of our DNA and is called Nyakagezi.
