Humanlike: The Chimps Of Fongoli
HUMANLIKE: THE CHIMPS OF FONGOLI is the story of a remarkable group of chimpanzees in Senegal, West Africa. They live at the very limits of where chimps can survive. As they adapt to the extreme heat of the savanna south of the Sahara Desert, they could hold clues to how we became human. For years, these chimps were elusive ghosts, rarely seen. But then one team and one man changed everything – seeing into their secret lives and recording extraordinary new behaviors that shine a light on our own evolutionary past and fundamentally changing how we think about ourselves.

Macaque Island
Beach House Pictures
3 x 60' 4K HDR
Long tailed macaques have recently being declared globally endangered and are in massive decline across South East Asia. Singapore is one of the few countries where they are managed and protected, allowing a fascinating glimpse into their complex lives and unique adaptations to the urban world. Many of the troops have adapted to live between the forest and the city fringes and have learned to make the best of the two worlds. But good monkey habitat is in short supply on this small island, and living so close to each other, it is inevitable that two of these troops will eventually cross paths. Macaques are extremely territorial and both groups are led by a charismatic alpha male who makes all the decisions for their tight family and just wants what’s best for them – including the richest home.
