00:13 - I was invited to join a private project
00:20 where we could be trying to reintroduce
00:23 these chimpanzees in a more natural environment
00:26 with the hope of giving them the same chance
00:28 as other monkeys that had also become laboratory animals.

02:15 - We just all grew very close during this period.
02:29 They had to trust me in lots of ways
02:32 and reciprocally.
02:33 Dolph was very sick,
02:37 but we just had a very deep connection.
02:42 (speaking in foreign language)
02:48 I was expecting my first child.
02:57 It was very, very hard to leave,
03:00 but it was time.
03:02 (upbeat music)
03:04 (gentle music)
03:10 (speaking in foreign language)
03:14 - Oh, I was so nervous.
03:17 I was so excited.
03:19 And I was so excited to be in contact with them
03:22 and to see how it would be.
03:25 (chimpanzee laughing)
03:26 (speaking in foreign language)
03:30 - They're strong.
03:37 A female chimpanzee weighs 45 kilos.
03:39 It's a strength there
03:40 that most of us wouldn't even think of.
03:42 I was very worried.
03:45 I certainly had friends who said,
03:46 "You're crazy.
03:47 "They haven't seen you for a long time."
03:49 They're big adults now.
03:51 They're wild animals now.
03:53 (gentle music)
03:57 - I wonder if they remember our relationship.
04:00 It was really that morning that I almost gave up.
04:05 There was just too many factors
04:08 that just the anticipation
04:11 of seeing old friends again.
04:13 It was one of those moments
04:17 where you know you've got to do it.
04:19 (gentle music)

04:49 (laughing)
04:51 (speaking in foreign language)
04:55 - That was the best hug I've ever had.
05:11 Just to have that,
05:15 that welcome was especially wonderful.
05:20 It just became a moment where
05:22 there was no difference between us.
05:24 It felt so real.
05:28 It was so, so real.
05:32 So sincere.
05:34 (speaking in foreign language)
05:38 (gentle music)
05:41 - I learned so much just about myself
06:05 and about chimpanzees.
06:06 About how to convey to people
06:09 the importance of treating them differently.
06:11 This was a very special moment for us.
06:16 It was our moment.
06:17 And that one I'll never forget.
