Ivan the Gorilla was brought from Africa to a Tacoma, Washington mall to attract shoppers. Eventually, after public outcry, Ivan was moved to a Zoo in Atlanta. From the Congo to America, and from a local business attraction to a national symbol of animal welfare, Ivan the Shopping Mall Gorilla traveled an astonishing distance in miles and in impact. This is the true story and includes photographs and facts.
Unfortunately the movie Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla is not yet available on HBO Max.
