Duration: 44 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

Leonora is no ordinary orangutan; she is a pioneer. With her three-year-old son in her arms, she is about to set off on an epic journey back to the wild - the great ape escape. It is a long way from what she is used to. After being orphaned as a baby, she has spent the majority of her life in a rescue centre. She is leaving behind 600 other orangutans, all of whom are relying on her for their chance at freedom. If Leonora can make it, they could too. Show less
