The Gorilla Massacre

Gorilla Massacre

The video I watched today was truly a sad video. The Gorilla Massacre by Michael Nichols and Brent Stirton  was about the genocide  of the sliver back gorillas in Africa. A coal company in africa needed materials and the jungle the sliver backs were living in is were the is the same jungle the materials were in. the company wanted the materials so that they started killing the sliver backs by burning them shooting  them etc. the local villages felt they had a connection to these animals an tried to protect them from cruel intentions of any other human beings.The music and images used in this video was both moving and scary, its sad to see the lengths people will go to make a quick buck. Images and videos of baby gorillas and there troops are sprinkled throughout the video making a powerful point when you see the amount of dead gorillas. the tribe music symbolizes the powerful connection the tribe has to the gorillas.

  6. This blog is well-put with great details.
    You also have to reread some sentences and fix the grammer, punctuations.
    Capitalize when you start a sentence.
    Just change a few things around.

  7. There are grammatical errors. You could benefit from proof reading or spell check :)
