THE only way to observe one of the world’s rarest monkeys is to share its environment. Cue primatologist Julie Anderson and her camera crew spending six weeks living in what resembles an Ewok tree village. The filmmakers endure the hardships of the central African rainforest and the result is a beautifully shot wildlife adventure.

The elusive ape in question is the red-capped mangabey, which prove to be rather cheeky and full of character. Although being spied on by camera traps, thermal imaging and infra-red cameras I did start to feel sorry for the furry little blighters.

A nice sub-story to the documentary is the everyday life of the team in the treehouse. Get yourself a banana and enjoy.
