Saving the Gorillas: Ellen's Next Adventure

This is the absolute worst piece of media I have ever witnessed. I learned absolutely nothing, and my general distaste for Ellen has increased dramatically. You could tell that every moment in the "documentary", if you can even call it that, was insincere, faked, and just all-around poorly acted out. Not to mention that absolute disrespect she showed the staff when the cameras turned off. Ellen doesn't know what it was like for these animals or even for the people that work alongside them. What a joke?!

I think it's time to realize when you're hypocrisy catches up with you and just stay out of entertainment for good. Retire Ellen, we all need that in our lives.

You will always be "One Take Ellen", just not because you're an good entertainer any longer. It's because the first is so poor, we do not want to try for a second.

One of the best discovery documentaries so far , so glad ellen is back with something special and I was so happy when they showed us what she was doing during her break, can't wait to see her next adventure.

The documentary makes me wants to visit Rwanda as soon as possible.

The campus looks amazing and the atmosphere the people of Rwanda seem nice

Seeing Portia and the love she has for ellen made me so happy, and I want more of them

The documentary guests are perfect, Sofia was so hilarious , also Andy

If only twitch was there 💔💔 still can't believe he is gone

Thank you discovery and Ellen for this amazing show.

I wanted to watch this because it was about mountain gorillas and then I saw the poor rating but no reviews explaining why it was so low. This is a documentary but it isn't really about mountain gorillas. This is the story of Portia buying Ellen a gift for her 60th birthday and what it took for them to fix it up. The preserve was the Diane Fosse mountain gorilla center where Fosse spent many years studying the gorillas. The documentary interviews people in Ellen's world and at the gorilla center. There's very little about the gorillas in the documentary and so that's why there is a low rating. If you're an Ellen fan, you'll enjoy the documentary.

This is an absolute waste of everyone's time and money. Whatever you do, don't watch this piece of garbage. Otherwise, you'll live a life of debauchery and be a toxic person (like 3113N, idk). The point I'm trying to make is that this is the WORST documentary to ever come out in the 2020s thus far and that the fact is that Ellen is the biggest disgraceful human in recent times despite all the controversies revolving around her "workplace". This does NOTHING to forgive Ellen for her toxic personality, and she needs to get out of the spotlight. This movie should've not been focused on her "Saving the Gorillas", it should've been focused on her "Saving My Career".

-0/10.

Bad documentary born not out of her concern for the gorillas and respect for the great Diane Fossey's life work and legacy, but from a desperate, calculating attempt to redeem her failing career after having been exposed as a tyrannical, moody, toxic, abusive, rude boss who caused many people to be fired or go through emotional distress with her mean antics. Honestly I never watched her own show because it's not my type of entertainment but I was curious about this piece as it revolves around a subject that is dear to me, preservation and restoration of the Environment, protection and assistance for threatened species and animals in dangerous conditions and a love of Nature in general. I was sorely disappointed. Goodbye Ellen, you and your self-entitled stunts won't be missed.
