When a nation is torn apart by war, wildlife often becomes a last priority. But for the few scientists who were working in the Congo in 1997, leaving the bonobo chimps at the mercy of rebel forces was like leaving their family in the hands of murderers.

Returning nearly eight years later, the scientists searched the Congo for the bonobos they feared had not survived. This intimate, emotionally charged film tells the tale of the near extinction of a great ape and the heart-stopping experiences of the scientists who championed them.
