Documentary, 09-May-2025
Set in the Budongo Forest of Western Uganda, GERESOMU is a short documentary about Muhumuza Geresomu, a local field assistant whose knowledge of the forest has quietly shaped decades of chimpanzee research.
For over 30 years, Geresomu has worked at the Budongo Conservation Field Station, guiding visiting researchers and sharing his deep understanding of the forest’s wildlife. He can recognize chimpanzees by their calls, predict their movements, and name every plant in their diet. His scientific expertise extends to birds, insects, snakes—and even the weather.
This film is a portrait of a gifted naturalist, a generous teacher, and the kind of knowledge that comes from a lifetime spent in close relationship with a place. Through Geresomu’s story, the film seeks to show the world where science really comes from. Filmed by Elodie Freymann
