Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey

Factual error: In the movie Dian touches hands with the silverback Digit. In reality Digit was a young male and not a silverback. The gorilla she touched hands with was not Digit but one called Peanuts.

Factual error: At the end of the movie Dian's dog Cindy is barking at Dian's dead body. The dog died 3 years before Dian was murdered.
