A Song For Love - An Ape With An App

PLAY


Shot over two years in a pocket of mountainous Chinese wilderness, this film introduces the Skywalker Gibbon – a newly discovered primate.

Skywalker Gibbons have an unusual ritual. When they court, they sing to one another in cries that can be heard across vast distances. But what if the gibbons are too far apart to hear call to mate? A professor and a pop star set out to remedy the situation by becoming gibbon matchmakers!

Follow the bold experiment and meet the extraordinary contestants and their families! Filmed over two years in one of the world’s most challenging locations, ‘A Song for Love – An Ape with an App’ is a wonderful tale of hope, and features never before seen behavior of the elusive Skywalker Gibbon.
