CBBC - Inside Life, Gibbons

Bryony Maxwell helps film gibbons swinging through the canopy of the Thai rainforest.

Behind-the-scenes wildlife show. In the rainforest in Thailand, Bryony Maxwell joins camerawoman Justine Evans as she films gibbons swinging through the jungle canopy.

Ten CBBC agents have been given exclusive access to David Attenborough's latest blockbuster wildlife series -  Life. From polar bears in the freezing Arctic to tigers in the steaming jungles of India, each agent gets their own special mission to go behind the scenes to see just what it takes to film a stunning wildlife sequence. Working alongside the BBC's Natural History Unit, they get hands-on to climb high into the Thai rainforest to film gibbons, dive wrecks covered in corals in the Bahamas and travel to the remote islands of Komodo to track down Komodo dragons.

Scaling the dizzy heights of a 30-metre tree in the Thai rainforest, Bryony Maxwell helps set up a filming platform high above the ground for the Life team. From here she hopes to join camerawoman Justine Evans as she films gibbons swinging through the jungle canopy. But not all the gibbons Bryony sees are as lucky as the ones in the rainforest, as she finds out when she visits the gibbon sanctuary.
