The Family of Chimps

on BBC Two England

Narrated by Desmond Morris Passionate in their greed for Power, intriguing in their sexual behaviour, chimpanzees are often surprisingly ingenious in their use of tools. This film is a remarkable record of a colony of chimps established under scientific scrutiny in Burger's Zoo, Arnhem,
Holland. With their lives in full view, the film captures the language and politics of ape society.
Produced and directed by gERTHAANSTRA
Presented for the BBC by JOHN SPARKS
