For any one interested in an accurate depiction of primates in the wild; no people in this video! An honest look at the lives and interactions of a Chimp family through the generations. A touching, dramatic and sad story, narrated by Donald Sutherland. All shot, directed, and put together by the husband of the famed Jane Goodall. A must for conservationists, lovers of apes, and for those who doubt the common ancestory of the human race.

I,ve yet to see a video about any type of animal life outside of the human race that could capture my attention and my heart the way this one did.In so many cases you feel the joy,the sadness and sometimes the silliness the chimps endure in the lives that they live.You're made to feel that you could bring one of them into your home and have no language or lifestyle barrier between you.If you ever need convincing that we are all alike in one way or another-animal or human-this is the movie to see.

This film about generations of chimps was incredibly amazing. You become to know and feel what these most human like creatures are thinking. After seeing it four years ago I still think about the film often. A must see!!

This is one of the most fascinating stories I have ever seen captured on film.

This amusingly narrated movie about the life of a troop of chimpanzees is one of my favorite movies of all time. You can watch this over and over again. While I'm sure this production is guilty of a touch of anthropomorphization, it's nonetheless a good buy. I'm here writing this review because I want this on DVD. This is one of my favorite movie purchases of all time.

If you're sick of handing money to the Hollywood machine for more Ben Affleck movies, buy this quality entertainment.
