CHIMP EMPIRE

Series Premiere Date: April 19, 2023

Format: Documentary Series (4 x 45-min episodes)

To live in the jungle you must fight to survive.

The largest group of chimpanzees ever discovered have built a complex society deep in the forest of Ngogo, Uganda - but ambition and neighboring rivals threaten to destabilize their empire. Narrated by Academy Award(R) Winner Mahershala Ali and directed by Academy Award(R) winner James Reed, Co-Director of My Octopus Teacher.

Synopsis: Under the lush canopies of Uganda's Ngogo Forest dwells the largest chimpanzee society ever discovered. For the last 25 years, scientists and field trackers have lived alongside this tribe, watching as they built a sophisticated political and familial structure: forming alliances, building trust, caring for one another, and often going head to head in a never ending fight for power. When director James Reed (My Octopus Teacher) embedded a camera crew to capture a uniquely intimate look at the chimps of Ngogo, there was no way to know that the year ahead would bring some of the most tumultuous battles and dramatic changes in the tribe's history. Over the course of four unforgettable episodes - narrated by Academy Award(R) winner Mahershala Ali - babies will grow, relationships will blossom, and leaders will rise and fall. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance to get up close and personal with our closest living animal relatives, and an equally rare opportunity to learn about our own human society through the mirror of these chimps and their fascinating lives.

Director: James Reed
