Film synopsis
A group of researchers spent 23 years in Uganda, Africa, documenting an ape society taking over a forest. After years of following the chimpanzees, the team finally gained their trust and could observe this vast community at close range. Its leaders rule through warfare and alliances. They are repeatedly challenged and sometimes fall, yet the community continues to expand, making survival even harder for endangered red colobus monkeys. Like humans, chimpanzees have bonds of kinship with members of their community. Like humans, they also take resources without restraint. Can this ever-growing community sustain itself?
