See No Evil portrays the daily life of three famous elderly apes who spend their days in retirement, Cheeta of Tarzan fame, Kanzi, star pupil of ape linguistic studies, and a NASA space chimp now partially paralyzed. These intelligent cousins of ours reflect on their life with homo sapiens in a sometimes bitter, poetic recapture of the strange but intriguing relationships. The viewer is left to consider on their own the ethics and implications of our actions, no matter how well intended, now and in the past. |
