HumanLike: The Chimps of Fongoli (1 x 60)
Producer: PASSION PLANET
Co-production partner: The WNET Group
This one-hour special follows a group of elusive chimpanzees living at the very edge of what’s possible, shedding new light on our closest living relatives and our own origins. The Fongoli region of Senegal, on the Southern edge of the Sahara Desert, is the hottest, driest place in the world that chimps can live. The chimps really shouldn’t be here. So how do they survive? The film traces the remarkable 25-year story of how American Primatologist Jill Preutz and local chimp expert Dondo “Johnny” Kante got so close to the chimps that they uncovered a wealth of unique behaviors that might just reveal secrets about our own evolutionary past.
