Synopsis

How did Bobby, the gentle chimpanzee, manage to pull through after years of being caged up in isolation in biomedical labs? How did "space chimp" Emily, trained to test space capsules and rockets, survive her stressful NASA training program?

Appalled by such treatment, Carole Noon decided to help discarded apes and created the sanctuary "Save the Chimps", a unique site in Florida and home to over 300 chimpanzees.
