Documentary / James Reed / Keo Films / Great Britain / 2017 / 85 min / English

This documentary mercilessly dispels the clichés about sweet, cuddly chimpanzees. James Reed spent years filming them in Uganda. He shows how chimpanzees forge alliances and form friendships, but also how they brutally fight against other apes and monkeys. Not for the faint-hearted!

Note: Contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing

 

Filmtalk: Friendship, social devotion and rivalries inside a mighty chimpanzee empire. What does recent primate research tell us about our closest relatives?
