Transcription

Synopsis

The film introduces Koko soon after she was brought from the San Francisco Zoo to Stanford University by Francine Patterson for a controversial experiment. She would be taught American Sign Language. Director Schroeder dove into the widely discussed debate about animal rights, and whether they should be treated as individuals.

Reception

Janet Maslin of The New York Times called the film "handsomely photographed", and wrote: "Koko does present some fascinating insights into matters of behavior and education. And Mr. Schroeder has assembled this funny, provocative documentary with gratifying intelligence and care."[3]

Home media

Koko: A Talking Gorilla was released on VHS.[4] In 2010, the film was released on DVD by the Criterion Collection.[5][6]
