Set in the heart of the African rainforest, Chimpanzee tells the tale of a newborn chimpanzee named Oscar whose mother is taken away by a rival group of chimpanzees. Left alone
without a mother, Oscar's time should be up. But in an extraordinary and unprecedented act of kindness, the leader of his group, a powerful male named Freddie, adopts the
youngster.
Chimpanzee is a gripping and deeply moving tale that reveals just how funny, intelligent, and fascinating these wild animals can be. Directed by Alastair
Fothergill (
Earth and
African Cats) and Mark Linfield (
Earth), this tear-jerking family saga is full of humor, turmoil, and tenderness.
This jacketed movie companion takes readers behind the scenes of the incredible film and is filled with stunning photographs of the African rainforest and the remarkable animals that
inhabit it.
