The internationally known ethologist, Dr. Frans de Waal based his spectacular book "Chimpanzee Politics" on his unique study at the Arnhem Zoo in Holland. This film documents his study on the remarkable life within this almost human community. We see the primate's intricate social strategies. They are passionate in their greed for power, touching in their relations to one another, and intriguing in their sexual behavior. We also note their ingenious use of tools.
"Specialists in animal behavior share their observations about mother/child interactions, their use of tools, their social organization, and consider their play and sexual activity as well as problem solving abilities." Booklist
