Started watching Orangutan Jungle School with little expectation but was more than pleasantly surprised. From the outset you cannot help but smile your way through the length of the program watching the personalities of the different great apes come through on camera. The work that the team is doing there is nothing short of miraculous and there level of success is phenomenal. Only one downside to the 3 episodes that there are is that you don't get to see the full story of the individual orangutans as it would be awesome to find out if Benny loses enough weight or if Clara and her baby manage to make it in the wild. The heartwarming interactions with their babysitters show the level of dedication of the staff but you always have in the back of your mind that the orangutans are at the Jungle School because their mothers have more than likely been killed by poachers. Touching on what was being done to try and stop the poaching would be a good angle of the program but overall this documentary is brilliant.
