Youth is wasted on the young – the saying goes. The same can be said about Chimpanzee. Not that children won’t appreciate it. They’ll love it. It’s just that grownups will appreciate it more, though how many adults without kids in tow deign to see “family” nature documentaries?
Dramatic nature documentaries like Chimpanzee – combining up-close nature with major dramatic development – are a new breed. The never-seen-before nature is bracing and the drama is hard to believe, even if there’s no reason not to believe it. The Last Lions remains King of the Genre.
Chimps – our nearest evolutionary cousins – are catnip to humans. Seeing them up-close in wild West Africa, swinging through trees, grooming one another, even group hunting … what a treat!
Waste not, want not. See Chimpanzee. Help save Chimpanzees by doing it. Jane Goodall is involved.
It’s a good thing.
