The Chimpanzee Complex
A film by Marc Schmidt
Synopsis
After years in solitary captivity, the chimpansees in a Dutch rescue center must learn to live with members of their own species again. The caretakers who accompany this process, work towards a paradoxical goal: as people they try to let the animals be animals again.
Emotional confrontations and ethical issues emphasize the ambiguous relationship between man and primate. Is it possible to think beyond the boundaries of our human perspective when trying to understand another species?
Watch film
«I don't want to malign psychiatry patients, but many animals show the same symptoms as such patients.»
