Question: are the gorillas in the gorillas in the mist real?
Answer: In their quest for authenticity, the film makers shot as much of ''Gorillas in the Mist'' as possible in the mountainous, unforgiving jungles of tiny Rwanda in landlocked central Africa, where Dian Fossey lived and died and where the gorillas roam. ... The center is in a rain forest high on a 12,175-foot mountain.
