Baboons vs. Nature: A Tale of Survival in the Masaï Mara | FULL DOCUMENTARY

The plains of the Masaï Mara in Kenya, a dominant male, twenty submissive females, two warring brothers, a tree of forbidden fruit, a snake : this is the olive baboon version of Genesis.

Effortlessly combining scientific rigour, objectivity and humour, this documentary spends eight months around a "dormitory-tree" in the intimacy of a troop of baboons caught up in hierarchical conflicts.

They have to put up with anything : floods, rivalries, alliances, parasites, and even cheetah attacks. Only a unified troop could possibly overcome these ordeals...

Documentary: Conflicts of Nature – Conflicts Around a Tree (1998)
Direction: Bertrand Loyer
