Trimates - Episode 2

These stories, each of which began in isolation decades ago, have ignited a worldwide consciousness about the wonder of the Great Apes and the crisis of their disappearing habitats. The Trimates also became powerful role models for a generation of young women around the world, and literally thousands have been inspired to follow them as students, scientists and passionate defenders of our closest living relatives. This documentary not only tells the story of the pioneering generation, but follows the adventures of three young women who were inspired by the Trimates to make the same choices, and live with the Great Apes of Africa and Borneo.
