Le peuple singe

Mar 2 1990 PG 1h 25m
Documentary, Family

This comprehensive documentary explores the lives and behavior in the wild of over a hundred different simians species. Footage from such diverse places as Ethiopia, Japan, Sri Lanka and Brazil brings macaques, baboons, monkeys, orangutans and many other relatives of humankind to the screen. Because of its length and extensive coverage of its subject, it is of particular interest to those who are already keenly interested in its subject matter.

Plot

Filmed over a period of five years, this is a documentary about monkeys, and how their world is not too different from our own. They share with man concerns for the search for affection, the care of children, and the struggle for power. Filmed in their natural habitat throughout the world, it's an introduction to the family of man.
