Los Últimos Reyes Perdidos de Bioko
ESTRENO EN ESTADOS UNIDOS A FINALES DE 2020 EN EL CANAL SMITHSONIAN.
"Los últimos reyes perdidos de Bioko" es un documental sobre la vida salvaje de los driles, por primera vez grabados en libertad. Se ha transmitido en toda Europa y gran parte del mundo en canales de televisión nacionales e internacionales. Sigue la historia de una familia de driles que viven en las profundidades de los densos bosques de la isla y explora la compleja sociedad de estos increíbles primates. Gran parte de este comportamiento nunca se ha visto en la naturaleza y esta es la primera mirada profunda a los driles dentro de su mundo oculto. Esperamos que esta película informe a la comunidad mundial sobre el dril y la isla de Bioko para ayudar a generar oportunidades de ecoturismo para el país de Guinea Ecuatorial. Ojalá podamos ofrecer oportunidades de empleo a la población de Guinea Ecuatorial en torno a la preservación de los primates en la lucha contra el comercio de carne de animales silvestres.
SINOPSIS
Frente a la costa de África Central se encuentra una isla aislada, cubierta por una selva tropical virgen y rodeada de oscuras aguas oceánicas, habitada por una variedad de especies única y asuente en cualquier otro lugar de la Tierra. Este lugar misterioso se llama Bioko. El gobernante de este reino es una de las especies de primates menos conocidas del mundo, el dril. Esta película explora sus vidas secretas y su hogar en la isla, que incluye las zonas de anidación de varias tortugas marinas y la escarpada caldera. Seguimos a Motuku, un macho alfa, y su familia con la llegada de su miembro más nuevo al grupo, el pequeño Sipoti. Durante los próximos años, aprenderá las complejidades de la sociedad de los driles, algo que los investigadores aprenderán con él, ya que se sabe poco sobre esta especie de mono. Quizás algún día se convierta en un alfa y gobierne su propio reino de selva tropical en la isla.
