This documentary sheds light on the ecology of the least known anthropoid apes in Asia – gibbons. We reveal how they communicate through singing and how they establish their social structure based on monogamy. For 2 years, we have tracked them throughout Indonesia and Thailand, capturing their lives. There are 18 recognized species of gibbons. For the first time in the world, our cameras filmed several species of wild gibbons, focusing on the ecology of these small anthropoid apes. 5 of the 18 species have been caught on camera, of which the story of the white-handed gibbon, the siamang, and the Javan gibbon unfold in this documentary.
