Red Ape: Saving the Orangutan (2018)
For the last decade, a team of frontline medics has been fighting to save Borneo's critically endangered orangutans. Armed with cameras, International Animal Rescue has documented their struggle: pulling apes from devastated jungle, giving emergency medical care, rehabilitating and releasing the healthiest orangutans back into the wild. This is both the story of their life-saving work and of how one of our closest wild relatives has been pushed to the brink of extinction. Combining genuine rescue footage with contributions from experts throughout, this documentary looks toward the future and asks what hope remains to save the orangutan.

I gave it a 7.5 out of 10
Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.
The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.
