  • "Koko, a Talking Gorilla is a documentary from 1978 that observes a zoo-born female gorilla in the fifth year of an experiment in human-simian communications. Dr. Penny Patterson has taught Koko hundreds of sign-language words in American Sign Language. Observing Koko's daily routine, her responses, her rejection of a new yellow sweater for her worn older red one, and her initiation of new subjects in conversation prompts more questions than it answers. What separates man from animal? The ability to construct a society, to speak, or to understand complex thought? No matter the conclusions, the film remains a compelling document of a fascinating experiment."@en
  • "En Californie, une étudiante en psychologie, Penny Patterson, a entrepris une expérience pour faire apprendre à un gorille femelle, Koko, un langage de signes lui permettant de communiquer avec elle. Elle affirme que Koko a réussi à maîtriser l'équivalent de cinq cents mots et arrive à se faire comprendre par le moyen de ces gestes. Le film illustre les rapports établis entre Koko et Penny et offre les commentaires de la jeune femme et d'autres personnes, tel le directeur du zoo auquel Koko a été empruntée."
