Watch this on Blue Ray if you can, or 4K or the highest definition you're able to - because this is gorgeously filmed, in very high definition, with great clarity and stunning scenery.
This documentary is also surprisingly political. It describes the dominance hierarchy in a way that compares interestingly to human society. An interesting comparison is how the non-dominant members of the monkey clan suffer with the last scraps of the food and hang out in the worst parts of the trees and suffer more wet conditions during the monsoons, whereas the dominant members of the clan hang out in the best locations and get all the best food.
It's interesting to compare how this physical stress on the lower 'casts' of the monkey clan compares to how poor people suffer greater psychological stress (in some or many ways), and their physical health suffers as well. More wealthy people eat better and live longer. It's interesting to see this similarity in the monkey clan.
