PBS schedules HumanLike: The Chimps of Fongoli for November 11 at 8 p.m. Eastern and 7 p.m. Central, subject to local listings. The Nature documentary draws on 25 years of fieldwork in the savanna woodlands of Senegal. The film follows Dondo “Johnny” Kanté and anthropologist Jill Pruetz as they document how the Fongoli

chimpanzees cope with heat and drought. Among the behaviors they observed were sheltering in caves, digging for water and making tools to hunt. Oliver Twinch directed the film, and evolutionary biologist Shane Campbell-Staton narrates. The program also follows Toto, an orphan chimpanzee whose path takes him from the

margins of his group to its dominant rank. Official source. KPBS broadcast and streaming information. Image credit: PBS Nature / Passion Planet, official HumanLike: The Chimps of Fongoli promotional still. Official image source.
