Genre: Wildlife, Nature, Docu-Reality, Documentary Series
From the co-director of My Octopus Teacher and the team behind Rise of the Warrior Apes, Chimp Empire explores the fascinating world of the largest chimpanzee society ever discovered as they navigate complex social politics, family dynamics and dangerous territory disputes.
Under the lush canopies of Uganda's Ngogo Forest dwells the largest chimpanzee society ever discovered.
For the last 25 years, scientists and field trackers have lived alongside this tribe, watching as they built a sophisticated political and familial structure: forming alliances, building trust, caring for one another and often going head to head in a neverending fight for power.
When director James Reed (My Octopus Teacher) embedded a camera crew to capture a uniquely intimate look at the chimps of Ngogo, there was no way to know that the year ahead would bring some of the most tumultuous battles and dramatic changes in the tribe's history.
Over the course of four episodes – narrated by Mahershala Ali – babies will grow, relationships will blossom, and leaders will rise and fall.
It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get up close and personal with our closest living animal relatives, and an equally rare opportunity to learn about our own human society through the mirror of these chimps and their fascinating lives.
