Natural World: A straightforward, Attenborough - style introduction to the orangutans of Borneo would be fine: this is both more and less. It's a hushed-tones biopic of an orangutan celebrity (he's even met Julia Roberts) called Kusasi. To chart his life we flash back using archive footage, reconstructions and a good deal of speculation as to Kusasi's early years. There are some wonderful scenes and at times the film is very moving. If it sometimes goes over the top, maybe that's fair enough: at the rate their jungle is being destroyed, the orangutans need all the help they can get.
