Documents the life and death story of the great apes of the Congo basin. At current rates of killing, our closest relatives in the animal kingdom will be extinct in 10 years. Explores the tradition of eating "bushmeat", the development of the illicit market in Europe and North America and consequences such as endangering the species, destruction of rainforests and ecosystems and the exploitation of the indigenous people. Chronicles the efforts of bioethicist Dr. Kerry Bowman, Dr. Jane Goodall and an international team, as they travel to the heart of Cameroon's rainforest seeking to stop the slaughter, and save the great apes from the dinner menu.
