Great information about this project! Sad to learn about another devastation on this planet due to consumerism's greed! Hope you succeed regardless and get this message out via your film

Documentary movies are good if the topic hits home, and I think that linking the possible extinction of our closest relative is a good idea to get people to take notice that this really affects us as humans too. The time is ripe for these anti over processed food crusades too. We are receptive to healthier alternatives, and aware of how our choices make an impact on the world.

You have peaked my interested in a subject, I had no previous knowledge of.

Mary L.

The voice of Morgan Freeman would be awesome in this one!

Virginia W.

I think this is an important and worthy topic, and it seems to be a well-prepared documentary. I was under the impression that we shared more genetic relation with chimpanzees than orangutans, but regardless, nice work.

Cathy S.

Wow, a story that needs to be told, I know that I had no idea about the palm oil connection.

Sherry H.

Educational. Interested in learning more.

Andy P.

I am a sucker for any documentary about animals. No matter what, this should be shown on Animal Planet.

Iain C.

A film with a conscience... nice to see.

Gertray D.

Watched it and it's marketable. Again, makes one think how stupid we are.

Dirk M.
Posted 6 months ago

Sure makes you think about what we are doing to this worlds other inhabitants, what have the Orangutans ever done to us. Shame..

Michael C.

Looks interesting and necessary. Commendable work!

Paula K.

Something needs to be done to protect these beautiful creatures. Educating the public is one way to start.

Informative but this isn't the kind of project that should be pitched to Cinecoup. maybe try pitching this to National Geographic or discovery channel for funding.

There is a documentry coming out in theatre in late 2013 about monkeys and I'm not a fan of documentries they tend to get really boring.

Natalia N.

As much as I love the message you're trying to get across I don't know if this is a movie people would go to the theatres to watch but I do think it's something that should be made.

Jo-Ann S.
Posted 6 months ago

So great to get this message out there.

Amanda D.
Posted 6 months ago

A story that definitely needs to be told. Just from your trailer I already learned something and want to learn more about what the solution is that you alluded to.

Deb H.
Posted 6 months ago

A film that actually has something important to say!

Chris T.
Posted 6 months ago

This is a good cause, but I am not sure that this type of work is for the big screen.

Joe M.

Probably the most important film in this competition although one wonders why they can't get funding elsewhere.

Timario M.

Yessss! Give these guys the proverbial stump and megaphone! Well done

Donald Y.

Thumbs up!

Great camera work it's just there already is a documentary on monkeys in the theatre so I don't know if I would watch and personally not a huge fan of documentaries all the cast and crew did more than amazing job though.

Renee D.
Posted 7 months ago

Excellent preview: gives me enough info to know what the documentary is about and to care about it. I found the initial text floating in difficult to read in the time it was on screen. My eyes did adjust but I missed the first few and had to go back. I would miss that opportunity in the theatre.

Danny G.
Posted 7 months ago

A story with not enough attention. Good job.

Susy L.

Kate W.

I Love Orang-utans! This movie trailer sends an important message about consumerism and the reality that organ-utans face if we do not act fast.

Carleigh B.
Posted 7 months ago

I had no idea about most of the things addressed in this trailer. I don't know if the way it is shot in the trailer would keep my interest throughout the whole documentary

Michael W.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree with the comment below regarding the validity of the information. I'm a geneticist and have studied the relation between various chimps or monkeys. While some scientists are certainly arguing that orangutans are our closest relatives, there are not founded studies, and most evidence still leads to bonobos being our closest relatives. If you are stating this as a fact, you're misleading your viewers. Please get your facts straight if you're making a documentary.

Lyse W.
Posted 7 months ago

Very interesting concept but I'm a little disturbed by the facts advertised in this trailer. Orangutans are NOT our closest genetic relative, but rather bonobo chimpanzees are, as discovered several years ago. If this very commonly known fact is omitted in this film, what other information (in a documentary, of all things), is false? While I think the goal of this project seems worthwhile, its value is lost if the information is wrong. Also, there are grammar mistake in the text. I expect more from serious documentary filmmakers.

Hugh P.
Posted 7 months ago

i think its a great cause but anyone can make a doc for a million bucks

Anne S.
Posted 7 months ago

Not sure if I would watch this, but still pretty cool.

Louise M.
Posted 7 months ago

This trailer shows a film that connects the dots between the blind consumption of products in the west and deforestation in Borneo and its deleterious results. We cannot continue to be ignorant about the devastating effect our food choices have on the survival of species like the orangutan. This film gives a voice to the orangutans and those who endeavour to help them.

Kirsty R.

Leslie H.

I watched your speechless mission this week and wanted to see more. This looks really interesting, and it is beautifully shot. When you make this film, could you slow down the text (quotes and such)? Some were a little quick to read and process along with the images.

Margaret S.
Posted 7 months ago

This is a doc about an environmental issue that I feel is important and therefore close to my heart. Seeing Indonesia and hearing the story about the palm oil in our products definitely appeals to me and deserves a wider audience. The team putting this together seem interesting and engaging and make the story relateable. I am especially fond of the camera work - there's some really beautiful and heart-wrenching images captured which serve as an excellent backdrop for the orangutans' story.

Nathan F.
Posted 7 months ago

Great to see a documentary here at CineCoup. Interesting subject matter and something I would watch. MIght be better suited for television.

Keri M.

Compelling. I don't think the average person knows that palm oil is linked to this...

Curtis B.

I thought this was suppose to be a film not a documentary! Not to diminish the cause because it is worth while!
I am interested so I plan to follow.

I would definitely not go see this in a theater. It might be fine as a national geographic special or other documentary, but theres no way I would go to the movies to watch what appears to be an eco-horror

Milagro T.

Can't wait to see more!

Steven H.
Posted 7 months ago

I thought this was fantastically well done and could see something like this easily making it onto National Geographic or another station of the likes. Be careful to watch your spelling and grammar on subtitles, on a production as high quality as this, errors such as "illeagally" really stand out as everything else is so well done. Otherwise, great job!

Georgia M.
Posted 7 months ago

Thank you so much for making this documentary! The only way to stop the deforestation of the Orangutang's natural habitat is to take away the economic incentive for people to do so, and that means stopping the demand for that product. This is a vital forst step in that process.

June B.

Kathy M.

I love that this showcases local efforts, and I would see this in theatres, although it does seem like the project is completed already...(?)

I hope either way, the message in your film gets out there. It is unfortunate the amount of ratings below are based people dismissing the subject as " not important enough". Best of luck!

Simon H.

Palm oil has been overdone. Fix some other issues i.e. human issues instead of worrying about such a minor issue...

I honestly like what you're doing.....I just feel that this documentary is too ordinary. Why not too something unique and extraordinary to set yourselves apart? Like when the guys from The Cove set up hidden cameras and exposed the atrocities for the first time on film.

Emma S.

This cause is so close to my heart. I have worked as an Interpreter in Parks and Zoo's over the years and Palm Oil is brutalizing Thailand (and other rainforest) and one of the most interesting of the great apes. I think this should be made into a film, I just wish cinecoup was the right platform for this type of doc.

Tamara C.

Just an amazing wonderful cause filmed beautifully :-)

Jan I.
Posted 7 months ago

Everything you want in a movie, this is not just sheer entertainment, although the cinematography is incredible and the story absolutely riveting, one is transported to the other side of the planet to witness a travesty that will ultimately affect all of our lives. This movie is the ultimate good deed unto planet earth- to raise awareness that can directly change the diabolical course these madmen are on! Kudos to these brave people for taking a chance in spite of the odds to get this story out there. As society wakes up to the condition of the planet, with more questions than answers, this movie promises to deliver a viable solution that can affect us all by a simple solution- greed is surely destroying our planet- it is time to stand up and do something- this movie is a huge step in that direction- I have to give it the highest mark!

David R.
Posted 7 months ago

So sad that man's greed leads to the extinction of amazing creatures like this. I had no idea things were this dire for orangutans.

An incredibly important issue that needs to be exposed to a worldwide audience! Most people have no idea of the damage being done by the palm oil industry. Hopefully by learning about the courageous people working to help the orangutans and their rainforest habitat, folks will sit up, take notice and act!

Melissa L.

Lew D.

This is a topic I find very affecting and feel there can never be too much attention brought to it. I'd like to see something like this on Animal Planet or picked up by a news network.

My only quibble is that orangs aren't humans' closest relative, that would be chimps. But it's a minor quibble.

Ray D.

I never thought any further about palm oil other than seeing it on ingredient lists. How can this possibly be sustainable?

Katie T.

Beautiful imagery and terrrific story. I was confused by the title since the trailer seemed more about the people than the orangutans. Feels like your main story is about the palm oil industry and those activists working against it. One of the bios also listed this very film so it seems it's already been made. Perhaps you're turning a short into a feature. Regardless, worthwhile powerful stuff.

Chado M.
Posted 8 months ago

This looks very polished and very insightful. Personally wouldn't pay to see in a theatre, but would definitely give discovery channel a couple hours of my time for this. Good job guys. Would rate higher but it looks like its already completed, and doesn't need the budget.

Wild life is so important and I will always support work that raises awareness about this subject! The documentary looks interesting.

Natasha W.
Posted 8 months ago

really like the idea around the project just feel its meant for discovery channel on television and not for film

Mark B.
Posted 8 months ago

We're looking forward to this film being made. Filming in Indonesia is risky and restrictive given the content of this film and its potential to affect a nation's economy. Kudos to the filmmakers for an extensive self-funded research and development phase which required flying under the radar and watching their backs. Broadcasters don't want ideas, they want evidence. Hats off too, to the film's characters who are sticking their necks out because they believe in the filmmakers' ability to tell their story and bring global attention to their efforts.

Ryan S.

looks like a great documentary....and i hate documentaries. but also looks like you've already completed it (you've already flown to indonesia and interviewed all those people) Sorry, but dont feel it belongs in this competition.

Craig H.
Posted 8 months ago

A great trailer. Very professional. Has everything that is necessary in a documentary. It brings attention to a cause that is not well known. In addition, it makes you think when you buy groceries the impact that it has on a species many Km away. From an artistic point of view, the photography and editing are top-notch. You could show this documentary on "60 Minutes" and it would not look out of place.

Derek F.

Very important story and yes, there is a huge connection between Canadians (and other western consumers) and the Indonesian rainforest. Between 40 and 50% of the food products and personal care products (shampoo, body lotion, deo, laundry detergent, and and and ) contain palm oil, but often hidden under vegetable oil or other unpronounceable names. And Bio fuel ...

Although it can be a cliche to think that Canadians produce strong documentaries,
I would much prefer watching films with this kind of content then any other film that is currently trending / popular on Cinecoup.

This competition will eventually have its' winner. I feel that the winning project will not only simply be "a film", but also be a representative of Canadian cinema, and of the Canadian mindset.
If Canadian cinema is to be taken seriously, then the films that we produce and watch, should be films that are profound and have something to say instead of feeding into the idea that "we" only make comedies.

I believe this project deserves more attention than they are getting.

Good job to team Orangutan Guerrillas

It's such a great cause and could be quite controversial. The perfect combination for a great film project!

Good film - but it sure makes me anger to see what people do for money and how it effects our environment and wildlife. (Don't buy anything with palm oil in it - put pressure on companies that still use it)

Brilliant! Very well shot. Juxtaposing the utter selfishness of humanity with the unselfish courage of a few brave activists.

A brilliant video explaining how bad the situation is in Borneo Indonesia. We have to help them to stop this atrocity. before it's too late. It may be already. Orangutans are part of our eco-system. As well as these magnificent beasts dying in thousands, many other species are also losing their habitat on account of Palm Oil plantations.

Go for it. The orangutans need it as do we humans. I'd love to watch the story when it finishes final production!

The public needs to know more about where their food is coming from and the implications of growing anything on a mass scale. I look forward (with a heavy heart) to seeing the rest of this story.

The story of palm oil and its massive impact on the orangutans must be told!! Awareness especially among Americans and Canadians is sadly very low and this has to change!

The information contained in this documentary is at a critical moment of awareness! It must be to,d as soon as possible to stop the extinction of the Orangutan, to stop the destruction of the Rain forest, to stop the buying of products that support this destruction, and to start educating the public to steer away from these practices!

People should be woken up to the cruelty that comes with the Palm Oil industry

This is a story that needs to be told of the new oil rush that is destroying the oldest rainforest on Earth in Indonesia. It's time the world knows about palm oil.

Excellent Trailer, I can see exactly what the Film is about, and it looks very professional and I can't wait to see it.

Who doesn't love orangutans? This could be a real heart-wrencher. One criticism - spelling mistakes in your trailer just look unprofessional. Get someone to proof next time.
