  • This is by far my favorite pod. The gorillas were beautiful. I would have loved to be in your shoes.

  • Hey, Mr Valverde. I distinctly remember taking a real interest in Rwanda, and especially the ongoing, underreported civil war there, during my youth. Of course, it was thanks in no small part to your coverage on Channel One, which we watched on close-circuit television through junior high and high school.

    So this pod about the gorillas just came on TV, just now, and I am just like, "Oh, hey!" It's awesome, too, a very "round-the-campfire" retelling of these events, with all this footage from ten, fifteen years ago to support the narrative. So neat! Thanks for this.

  • WOW! You Really Held It Together..ME,On The other Hand?? Not Only Would I Had 'Ished My Pants, But I Would've Been "GORILLA STOMPED" For, Well, Let's Just Say. If There Was ANY Incling Of Female Tendencies Living In Me, It Would've Raised It's Pretty Little Head Right Then & There Because The Sound That Came From This 100% Male Body Would Have Been UNknown To The Human Species LoLoLoL

  • after hundreds of pods, video, docs on wild life on sat tv, your video still is, believe it or not, the very best above all, very above.
    and I may say,you are very professional, very espressive, very passionate and if I can say (I am not gay - not that's anything wrong with that!) quite hansome.
    forgive me for my english. I am italian and we don't study languages at school.
    take care and insist to share your experiences whit us

  • Questo video è coinvolgente. E' girato e comunicato con la massima semplicità ed è proprio questa semplicità la sua forza. Senza troppi orpelli e acrobazie filmiche e con il solo racconto delle emozioni seguito dalle immagini riprese da una distanza ravvicinata e con lo sguardo in macchina, l'autore riesce a trasmettere le emozioni che prova.

  • My favorite pod yet! I love the narrative; it gave me a sense of being there in such a rare and beautiful situation.
