Awards : Winner of Best short documentary, Best audience buzz (Durango Film Festival 2009- USA); Grand prix, Meilleur scenario (Festival Albert 2009 – France); Sapphire award, second place of Festival, Best Sound design, Best Editing, Best Conservation and Environmental Issue (International Wildlife Film Festival 2009 – USA); Hérisson de Bronze (Festival International du Film Nature et Environnement 2009 – France).
This important documentary was filmed in the fast disappearing Indonesian rainforest and is not narrated, however, its message is clear and frightening. The home of the Orangutan and many other wildlife species in Indonesia is being decimated at an alarming rate by consumer need and greed.
The film features the widespread practice of ‘slash and burn’ to clear the lush rainforest to make way for extensive palm oil plantations which we, the consumer, support in our demand for our favourite foods, magazines, cosmetics, and, increasingly, biofuel. The practice has also seen Indonesia move into third place behind the US and China with regard to carbon emissions due to the uncovering of peat soil which has lain, undisturbed, below the tropical rainforest for centuries. The film exposes the illegal pet trade that thrives in Indonesia and the sick, despairing lives of those Orangutan who spend years, often all their lives, locked in small cages, suffering, alone.
The story thread follows the fate of a female Orangutan who has been captured and brought in because her forest home has been decimated. She is one of the lucky ones – most are slaughtered without mercy when caught. Her fate though, is not a happy one, as her trauma at the hands of man is too great. Your heart will break with resounding pity, but it is even more sobering to know that she is only one of hundreds every week who will suffer a similar fate.
Make sure everyone you know watches this documentary. We owe it to our friends, the gentle Orangutan, we owe it to our planet, and we owe it to ourselves so that we can learn from it.

Purtroppo siamo cosi' ottusi da non accorgerci che ci stiamo distruggendo. Nella nostra follia travolgiamo anche chi non ha colpe.
Documentario incredibilmente triste e vero.
Tutelare l'ambiente e' tutelare la vita di tutti.
oppure semplicemente non ha senso "trasmettere".. perchè tanto "una volta morti"... .-__-'
questo documentario mi ha sconvolta.
Grazie per averlo inserito nell'archivio di La Vera Bestia ..
