S33E06 Orangutans: The Great Ape Escape

Leonora is not just any orangutan; she’s a trailblazer. Clutching her three-year-old son, she prepares to embark on a monumental journey back to the wild—the great ape escape. This adventure is a stark contrast to her previous life. Orphaned as an infant, she has lived most of her days in a rescue center. Now, she leaves behind 600 fellow orangutans, all counting on her to pave the way for their own liberation. If Leonora succeeds, it opens the door for them as well.
