NATURE & WILDLIFE
ape academy - the new kid in class
No one likes being the new kid at school. But how do you Duration
fit in when your classmates are a whole different species? 3 x 60’
This is the truly unique story of Mozambique, or ZZ for short, the baby Credits
gorilla growing up in a school for baby chimpanzees, the Jane otf studios
Goodall Institute’s Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Centre.
Definition
Here they teach ‘pupils’ the skills to survive and thrive in the wild. But is ZZ HD
doomed to be the school loner, or can she make some unlikely friends
amongst this different species? Will she grow up more chimpanzee
than gorilla, and if so, can she ever be accepted in wild gorilla society?
It’s like Tarzan, Mowgli or Buddy in Elf, but more compelling than any
fictional tale. A fascinating, emotional, never-filmed-before exploration
of nature vs nurture in the animal kingdom.
