Chimp Empire

Scientists and field trackers have lived alongside the Ngogo tribe for 25 years in Uganda’s lush forests, observing their complex political and familial structure. They built alliances, developed trust, cared for one another, and engaged in fierce power struggles as they navigated changes within their community. Reed and his team embedded a camera crew to capture intimate footage of the chimps living in Ngogo, witnessing pivotal moments such as baby births, relationship growth, and leadership shifts throughout history.
