Surviving Alone: The Tale of Simone, 15min., UK
Directed by Claire Tomlinson
Simone is the last Greater Bamboo Lemur in Ranomafana, a protected rainforest in south-east Madagascar.
After a happy start in life, surrounded by family, Simone finds herself alone, as members of her family disappear one by one.
Three years on, and she’s still alone - a social animal, a primate, just like us; how has this isolation affected her mental state?
