The Last Chimpanzee
Documentary Series
In 2018, the legacy of Hollywood's Great Ape Actors came to a definitive end with the retirement of Eli, the last working Chimpanzee, who performed his final scenes as an "astronaut chimp" in the feature film, ZERO. It was the final act of a nearly eighty-year era of Chimpanzees in film and television. However, this event did not finish to great fanfare or farewell, but rather a quiet and unobserved exit out the backstage door of Hollywood. This feature-length documentary follows the final working days of the last working Hollywood Chimpanzee.
