The Great Apes
This documentary explores the world of the great apes, from powerful gorillas to intelligent chimpanzees and gentle bonobos. It reveals their complex social structures, their surprisingly human-like behaviour and the bonds that hold their groups together. The film also confronts the serious threats these species face in the wild. Intimate footage brings viewers close to animals that mirror us in striking ways. It is an absorbing portrait of our closest relatives and the challenges to their survival. Free to stream in 4K on Dr Documentary.
