Each year, the Jackson Wild Media Awards in Wyoming, USA, recognises the best in nature and conservation storytelling. In 2023, the Grand Teton Prize for best film went to BBC’s Silverback, about the journey of award-winning BBC cameraman Vianet Djenguet. He spent three months tracking eastern lowland gorillas in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
“It was thrilling, I didn’t expect it, considering that I only wanted Silverback to give voice to this critically endangered species,” said Djenguet.
