Chimpanzees, our closest living relatives, are facing extinction in the wild. Still they continue to be exploited for our entertainment in movies, television shows and commercials. Renowned primatologists Jane Goodall and Roger Fouts, as well as concerned members of the film community like Academy Award winner Callie Khouri, discuss the abuse that chimpanzee actors face at the hands of their trainers, and why the use of chimpanzees in the entertainment industry must stop.
