5.0 out of 5 stars A touching account of a handicapped monkey's life in Japan., December 23, 1998

This review is from: Nature Series: Mozu the Snow Monkey [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this documentary on late night public television and was first struck by the wonderful landscapes and nature of northern Japan, where the documentary was filmed. Essentially the documentary is about a snow monkey named Mozu, who was born with severely retarded extremeties. In a land where a normally developed monkey has a better chance of dying before adulthood than surviving well into it, Mozu is an example of courage and struggle. The film does an excellent job of conveying the fact that monkeys and humans are both primates and, therefore, related. One truly feels for Mozu, whether it be during the bountiful and warm springtime weather or during the painful and bitter winter freeze. For anyone who enjoys nature documentaries with a more emotional aspect to them this video provides that.
