Amongst the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur city lies Bukit Serdang, an isolated forest, home to one of our closest living relatives.
Gibbons live in small family groups and mated pairs sing duets every morning in a coordinated fashion, but this isolated forest only has one song.
With help from a primate photographer, local hikers and Malaysia’s leading gibbon expert, film maker Myles Storey tracks down Solo.
Myles discovers how unique gibbons are and witnesses the direct impact that human development can have on their lives.
This is Solo’s story, but what will he teach us about ourselves?
