Her name is Green, she is alone in a world that doesn't belong to her. She is a female orang-utan, victim of deforestation. This film, produced by Patrick Rouxell, is an emotional journey with Green final days. It is a visual ride presenting the treasures of rainforest biodiversity and the devastating impacts of logging and clearing for oil palm plantations. Strong and poetic images from a forgotten tragedy.

"I could not stop watching this film. It's based on a simple idea really: to see ecological degradation through the eyes of one single animal, an animal so human in its appearance that you soon forget that Green is an Orangutan but rather a tragic victim of our actions. It's an extraordinary film, rendered with masterly skill and packing a powerful emotional punch. Without a single word spoken throughout, the film creates a searing indictment of how we use this earth with no regards for the silent neighbours we share it with. Please watch it."

Sydney Suissa, Executive Vice President, Content for National Geographic Channel International

It's such an important subject in the world today and to communicate across all cultures that concern without words but through pictures and a very beautiful sound track makes this a very important film.It's my favourite program for this year " Congratulations" Dione Gilmour
