Chimps of the Lost Gorge
A family of chimps live in a forested gorge that runs though the African savannah and has been cut off from the rest of the jungle for 15 years, leaving the chimps imprisoned.
A real-life drama about a family of chimps trapped in a lost world. They live in a deep and ancient forested gorge that runs though the African savannah. For 15 years, it has been cut off from the rest of the jungle, leaving the chimps imprisoned.
The family face a daily life-or-death dilemma: whether to leave the safety of the gorge and venture into the predator-ridden savannah to find food, or face hunger. There's now only 20 of them left, and as Brutus the alpha male loses his grip, can the family hold it together, or is time running out for the Kyambura chimps?
