This is the very BEST Goodall doc I've ever seen. Even though Jane herself is not actually featured, the subjects are Flo & Co -- one of Goodall's most beloved family of chimps. While watching, I kept feeling like I was sitting in the jungle right next to Jane, hearing her explain what the chimps were thinking and feeling = the next best thing to BEING Jane Goodall! (Hard to believe this fabulous documentary isn't viral with a million views and likes!) MANY THANKS to Jane and Hugo for all their patience, dedication and brilliant research!!!
All that old Cunt Goodall did was anthropomorphize these nasty little things. They are not nearly as close to human as they want you to think. Otherwise their work would be a waste of time. Which it was.
I find it weird how it never gets mentioned about the young girl who was killed by Frodo while under Goodalls supervision...I doubt the girls mother has such a high opinion of JG...she has sure done a good job of cultivating her image...Frodo also injured her but unfortunately the little girl died instead of the chimp exploiting jane
I absolutely loved this entire series! I wanted it to keep going. Hopefully I'll run across it in another year and watch it again! Beautifully made and narrated❣
Thanks so much… what a touching story. I’ve gained such a respect for our relatives who live in the forest❤️❤️❤️. They are strong and beautiful. I’m looking forward to more please…I didn’t want it to end.
She still looks the same, just older. (Fee-Fee) She sits and holds her knees and has that distinctive look. She has really deep meaningful brown eyes! ☺
the loveliest film i have seen, put together about chimps. so much work and patience gone into its making, true understanding of chimp behaviour.God bless the chimps, and Godbless the film crew.
Such an enjoyable, though at times sad, look at the lives of a chimpanzee family. The parallels that can be drawn to our own journey through the brief time we get on Earth are many. Makes me wish we could all be just a little kinder and gentler with each other and with the other animals we share our time with.
Wow, an 8-parter and I watched each one with more eagerness than I can remember having for any movie in a long while! This was a binge worthy documentary despite being very old footage. I shed a tear at the end at the reality of the horrific ways these animals are hunted down and their home destroyed in the name of profit for man in one way or another. Much in the same way Orangutans are fighting extinction. We can only hope their demise comes to an end someway somehow.
I like orangutans better, they are the true gentle apes, chimps are violent but I like learning about all the great apes so Thanks for posting this. Years after this Froto would dethrone his bro Freud and become one of the biggest , nastiest leaders in the forest. He was violent and ruthless, he would lead hunting parties and kill other chimps . He eventually got sick, became really thin and grey and the others took their revenge and exiled him after kicking his ass even when he begged they attacked him, they were pissed. Chimps are crazy.
He also wandered further away from the rest of the chimps, he would end up almost every day at the feeding station/JC camp sanctuary to be fed Frodo ended up relying on the very people that he bet up btw - he actually died from a testicle wound that got infected, the culprit was a little dog!!!
@@lizg.6190 That group was studied for decades, I don't know if there are movies with newer stuff, but there are a lot of books (with great pictures also) that hold all the studies and watchings that came after this movie which footage is REALLY old... 60's I think?
There was the first time I watch this family in my teens. Fifi was old and Freud was running things till he got sick then Frodo took over and became a menace
riveting series. I watched from start to finish. I did not know chimp society was complicated and intense. What bright intelligent animals/primates. With complex feelings and emotions. Amazing!
I was so happy when I heard that Fifi had 3 kids of her own, and she was happy. Finally, her brother Fagin got used to his paralyzed arm, was getting the respect he wanted, and was on his way to becoming a dominant male. Frodo and Fanny are doing good. Because they had an excellent mother, Flo who taught them how to survive is why they her kids made it, except for Flint. RIP, Flo & Flint.
an amazing closing freeze frame.....the chimps huddled together for security all...even the young one...realizing something is changing....all knowing it is disaster....and all aware it is directed at them...
Oh my goodness, I remember the ending of this documentary very clearly. I was maybe 7 or 8 years old, remember watching it on TV and being VERY unsettled by the ending, suggesting that the chimps will have their habitat destroyed.
Ferodo became a dominant male but with a dark side, including the killing of a young human child, the authorities decided not put him down, however he ended his days after a fight with a dog which ripped off his testicals causing an infection that killed him.
The ending is the saddest part of the entire movie. Not just one community devistated by man brought fatal & crippling air borne pathogens into their families like, polio, influenza ect. But the genocide or elimination of an entire species that just happen to be our cognitively aware- closest cousin on earth; with 98.5 Identical D.N.A. to human beings. They deploy complicated societies and cultures, that will all be gone in a FEW years.😨 Wake up folks! We should change things before it's too late. Meat is Murder.🙊🙉🙈
Great story! Very sad when the mother died and Flint died shortly after due to grief. It would be cool if someone could edit this and make it 2 parts and not 8.
@fromtheArura hi that history about Frodo is what I was trying to get to when I began watching this series. Still have some generations to go. Someone else wanted this info too. Please send me any more visual you may know. ♡
Little did the viewers know that in the future, there will be a Flynn, Fee-bee, Frank, Francis, Francesca, Fredrick, Finley, Florence, and finally, Gandalf, to tell the people with smoke and fire "you shall not pass". The End.
Chimpin ain't easy...too bad that baboon didn't take out Frodo & save all the other chimps & several people from his homicidal ways since he turned out to be a psycho & a tyrant
Flint didnt die of grief. He most likely died of an inability to know how to survive without his mothers direction. He stayed a baby for so long that it didnt seem he learned survival skills.
Exactly...just another media manipulation by the image master JG...weird how its never mentioned about the young girl killed by Frodo while under JG supervision
Other than the young of mostly solitary females Flint did have a chance. He could have followed his siblings and picked up from them what it takes to survive, he was not too young for that. I don't think that is "making them too human". Like humans, they have a brain and everyone who has a brain can also be mentally ill. He was, that made him that much dependent on his mother and that's why he died shortly after her.. Humans are just the species with the most mental health issues, not the only one who has those at all ;) Also there might be other things at play. The polio was easy, because it was obvious to see and I am sure they did their research on those who died. But there are tons of different infectious threats. The natural thing for Flint would have been WANTING more and more independent from his mother. It's quite possible that he was born "different" or at some point had some sort of meningitis or anything like that that stopped his brain from developing beyond "I am the baby, mother cares for me and if not I get mad". But in that case "grief" sums it up like "died because of old age". "Age" is not a sickness, but it makes the body weaker. And "grief" is in some way just "not knowing how or not wanting to live without someone/something that was lost". And he did die because he didn't know or didn't want to know that all he needed to do was fallowing his siblings and profit from the fact that his families status would allowed him to just keep on learning what he needs to know to survive.
That is clearly not the case at all. With the huge leaps forward in video capturing technology, greater experience in editing processes and narration based on a deeper understanding of this subject, it is excellent productions like this that are used today as a benchmark and reference to build on. 'Rise of the Warrior Apes (2017)' is just one example. Nostalgia has it's place but doesn't trump how a lot of modern filmmaking has evolved for the better.
Great document, although a bit too rosy to my taste. It fails to even mention the brutal chimpanzee war taking place precisely at the time which this part refers to, with Figan a prominent member of the war parties killing other chimps. Which makes the trite template: humans - bad, apes - cute, kind of fall apart.
This was an accurate portrayal of a peaceful family and peaceful friends (MacGregor, Longface, etc.); none of these members were "murderers" (well, maybe except for failure-to-launch Flint)...
What an amazing documentary. As I watched each segment I grew more confident in that feeling I had inside me that wanted to shoot every chimp in the face that I could.
🤔where in the hell did you come up with scam from? There is nothing in this beautifully written sad true story that could even be considered scam. The ending should gut anyone that has a brain, and that's a fact. Surely you aren't referring to the destruction of the forests and jungles of the world from money greedy mankind and big corporations. I have a secret.... The earth does not belong to man. Man belongs to the earth.😊 The polluting of air and water, chemicals and poisons in the earth plus the garbage of plastics, styrofoam, glass, disposable baby diapers and thousands of other non organic, unrecycable non biodegradable trash is what humans have contributed. Mother Earth, Mother Nature and Lord God Almighty are not happy with the disregard humans have shown.😞

Thank you. took ages to upload it so i am glad it was worth it
ireallyloveericlyons You're awesome!
Worth it? Indeed it was worth every second. I laughed, cried, curious, and captivated. Thank you so much! More please!
Wow 10 years ago you uploaded it and I barely seen it just now, amazing documentary, I hope the family lives on today 🙏🏼
Wow, Excellent series, I really enjoyed watching all 8 parts. I didn't wanted it to end. Thank you so much!
What a wonderful documentary a great way to spend a sunday morning god bless these wonderful animals.

Excellent series. Thank you for sharing all of this. It was truly amazing.
Brilliant, dramatic, emotional. I feel I knew them each.
Great watching this after Donald Sutherland's recent passing. Excellent narration!

wonderful documentary and sad also and shame on those making nasty comments!

This is my childhood documentary I ever loved. I happened to ask my brother to search it so I could remind my self of all the special times I was had
Weird to see Frodo being all cute and playful here knowing what a bully he'd be as an adult.
Wait, is there more footage on this family that I’m missing??
@@lizg.6190

I thought I was going to see a chimpanzee war but I still enjoyed the doc.
riveting series. I watched from start to finish. I did not know chimp society was complicated and intense. What bright intelligent animals/primates. With complex feelings and emotions. Amazing!
Most fascinating documentary. I saw it long ago and never forgot. So happy to finally find it again and watch it

I would really love to see this guy or someone like him go back and re visit this group. Such s great short film.
Frodo act like his uncle flint.
Thank you for posting! Very enjoyable binge-watch!
This Is An Excellent Documentary On The Chimpanzees Of Gombe In Northwest Tanzania!🐵🌴🌿🇹🇿
beautiful series.... thanks for sharing

Wonderful job, kept my interest up, did not want it to end.
That girl in the last ad video makes my tool solid😂😂😂😂
Really enjoyed all 8 video, thank you.
"...he died of grief." Wow, I wasn't expecting that.
Thank you so much for putting this up, it was incredible! Are there any follow up videos?
There needs to be a part 2 carrying on with Fifi,Freud and Frodo
There is a series on the chimp civil war. I think a number of these chimps are mentioned.
Excellent documentary! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful I loved this truly heart touching!
This is the Shakespear of chimps documentary. Bravo!
I wish this was on DVD! Amazing!
No wonder clasic art work rate so highly, The quality so great compare to a lot of modern movie
This was very emotional loved it!!!

Great story of fiffy and her great mother
Brilliant really enjoyed
I searched for this documentary, love it! thanks for sharing.😍😂
Would have loved to see a follow up, reading a comment below about Frodo and I heard about a mother/daughter cannibal chimps from the same pack
Great story! Very sad when the mother died and Flint died shortly after due to grief. It would be cool if someone could edit this and make it 2 parts and not 8.
saw this years ago, so happy to find them again! Such a beautiful work of art!!
Thanks so much. Enjoyed it 😁
Wish I could find the music by Jennie Muskett somewhere.
The first reality show.I enjoyed it.
Jane Goodall mentioned a son that died of grief. I wonder if it was Flint.
But she never mentions the mother of the young girl Frodo killed while under her supervision...all this JG worship makes me sick
Excellent Series, thanks for sharing.
‘Frodo likes the baboons. They are his friends.’
Nothing more gentle has ever been said.
Frodo was a psycho chimp that actually killed a young girl & injured several adults
Wow enjoyed watching all 8 series. So fascinating!
Thank you so very much!
@fromtheArura hi that history about Frodo is what I was trying to get to when I began watching this series. Still have some generations to go. Someone else wanted this info too. Please send me any more visual you may know. ♡
Great doc, but nothing to do with the chimp wars
So this is before the war?
Baby fanny is so cute 😭💕
the odd "mist", is that related to "gorillas in the mist" ?
Little did the viewers know that in the future, there will be a Flynn, Fee-bee, Frank, Francis, Francesca, Fredrick, Finley, Florence, and finally, Gandalf, to tell the people with smoke and fire "you shall not pass".
The End.
So Very Sad About The Deaths Of Flo And Flint!😢🐵🌴🌿🇹🇿
Who ever made this documentary was ahead of time.
Truly enjoyed this

It’s funny as an adult fifi rests the same exact way as she did when she was a child her son could have been her twin!
RIP FLINT!. NOT everone grows up !
Well...this series ended much better than Game of Thrones did.

@@skeptigal2785 hmmm….nahhh fifi’s son named Frodo was quite the killer. Had a lot of his Uncle Flint in him. Lol
Goodall was a master media manipulator...the naive people who seem to almost worship her & her exploitation really frustrates me sometimes
I’m here for the famous Gombe chimp war. Where is it? Soo disappointed 😞
what happened to Gilka and alley long face?
I think they said Alley long face died but can’t remember how or why
Olly disappeared in 1969 and Gilka died 10 years later
Hey, no problem!
Friends don't eat friends lol
*KENYA*
This make me feel animal
What an amazing documentary. As I watched each segment I grew more confident in that feeling I had inside me that wanted to shoot every chimp in the face that I could.
Makes me absolutely ashamed to say I belong to such a heartless, idiotic species....
SCAM
