SECRET LIVES OF ORANGUTANS IS THE WORLD’S FIRST FEATURE LENGTH FILM ABOUT WILD ORANGUTANS, REVEALING AN INTIMATE AND NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN PERSPECTIVE OF ONE OF OUR CLOSEST RELATIVES. THE DOCUMENTARY WAS FILMED OVER TWO YEARS IN THE SWAMP FORESTS OF SUAQ, NORTHERN SUMATRA, AN AREA RENOWNED FOR ITS HIGH ORANGUTAN POPULATION AND THEIR UNIQUE TOOL-USING BEHAVIOUR. THIS ANCIENT FOREST IS HOME TO OVER TWO HUNDRED IDENTIFIABLE ORANGUTANS, FORMING PART OF A THIRTY-YEAR RESEARCH PROJECT. THROUGHOUT THE FILMING, THE CREW WORKED CLOSELY WITH SCIENTISTS, LOCAL GUIDES AND PARK RANGERS FROM GUNUNG LEUSER NATIONAL PARK.
