The Climate Top at Copenhagen was? a complete failure, now it will be bussiness as usuel: logging the last rainforests, violating the rights of the indigenous people, destroying the very valuable biodiversity, killing orangutans and all other animals and in the end fastening global warming by the enormous quantity of CO2 that is going to set free by the logging.

Orangutans and local communities have saved peat land and rainforest for millennia. Now short term economic greed is destroying it in decades, releasing huge carbon stores and threatening humanity itself. Caught into the middle of the public discourse « on what to do? » to save the climate, with no concrete actions, orangutans populations are quickly vanishing, a genocide. What might think the orangutans, probably the most intelligent non-human ape of its human cousin? The documentary provides a clear orangutan’s answer.
