An incredible documentary following two chimp clans in Kibale National Park. I was immediately captivated, but motivated to finish the whole thing purely to discover what becomes of Gus, a young male chimp, in his quest to find a foothold within his clan.
And that's what is great about this series - I became emotionally invested in these chimps and their lives. I was able to relate to some of the decisions they made, particularly when decisions centered around motherhood and protecting infant chimpanzees. I felt sad for some, happy for others, and even annoyed at certain strategies a few adopted. This is not just brilliant production and beautifully captured shots of Kibale and the chimps, but a great story which is also well narrated.
