The documentary "The Disenchanted Forest" explores the groundbreaking discovery that orangutans learn to thrive in the wild by observing their peers, rather than relying on instinct. However, rampant deforestation has left many orangutans orphaned and isolated, disrupting their vital developmental process. The film follows a team at the Ngaru Menteng Reintroduction Clinic as they educate and rehabilitate orphaned orangutans, teaching them the skills and social behavior necessary for independence in the forest.
