The Last Trimate

SYNOPSIS

Indonesia holds the World Record for fastest deforesting country on Earth. In less than 10 years, 72% of its rainforest has been destroyed.

Man’s need for wood, minerals and palm oil from this area has desperate consequences for its ecostructure and, in particular, for the forests’ main inhabitant, the Orangutan.

Narrated by Mel Gibson and filmed in stunning high definition, THE LAST TRIMATE follows the incredible work of a formidable woman, Dr. Biruté Galdikas, as she highlights the plight of the elusive “red ape” and offers some hope for their survival as their very habitat is decimated at a startling rate. In turn, enlightening, devastating, uplifting, and moving - this documentary provides a compelling and heart-rendering account of one woman’s fight against a threat posed by her own race.
