EPISODE 1
Isle of Chimps
On the edge of Uganda’s Lake Victoria is Ngamba Island, a semi-wild sanctuary for a family of rescued chimpanzees, all of them victims of the exotic pet and bushmeat trades. Without their mothers to raise them, these orphaned youths are looked after by a dedicated team of caregivers who help them integrate into the community by teaching them how to eat, play, and speak like chimps. Explore this remarkable island and watch as these chimps put their troubled pasts behind them to live alongside their own kind once again.
