Synopsis:
Primatologist Murray Collins goes in search of the Orang Pandek, a new species of bipedal great apes found in the highland jungles of Sumartra. The film explores the myths and realities that surround tales of this man-like creature. Collins questions whether his scientific, rationalist approach is appropriate in a culture where the spirits play such a role. Photographer, Jeremy Holden, believes that proof of the Orang Pandek could lead the way to a new conservation ethic. Evidence that the forest could completely shelter the only other bipedal animal until the end of the 20th century could add weight to the argument that through deforestation, we don't know what we are destroying. At its heart, this film is about seeking our closest relative on earth before his habitat is lost forever.
