Best-selling author Sir Terry Pratchett, diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2007, has one last adventure he wants to go on. Eighteen years ago Terry had a life-changing experience in the jungles of Borneo, where he encountered orangutans in the wild for the first time. Now he is going back to find out what the future holds for these endangered species, and discover a new threat to their habitat that could push them to the brink of extinction. His Alzheimer's will make the trip an incredible challenge both physically and mentally, as he contemplates the role of mankind in the eradication of the planet's species, and considers his own inevitable extinction.

One of the best films i have seen

Afouotos

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Billie Morin

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Ezmae Chang

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
