Bonobo: Missing in Action (PG)

Winner of the Natural History One Planet Award

The wildlife film industry's most prestigious festival has announced its winners. This is your chance to see some of these winning titles.

Bonobos are the least known of all the Great Apes thanks to its remote jungle home in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It's a shy and peace loving chimp, and it gives us a remarkable insight into our own gentler side. unlike the more violent common chimpanzees, Bonobos live in peaceful societies ruled by females, where aggression is diffused by frequent sex. Recently, their forest has been overtaken by war and scientists fear they are heading for extinction..
