They are rulers, usurpers, heroes, lovers and friends. But these creatures, who we know intimately through the experiences of the researchers who have studied them for decades, are no fictional invention. And that makes them and their lives even more captivating.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithin a couple of weeks of observing the group, it became very clear that something strange and unusual was going on here,\u201d said Professor John Mitani. \u201cYou just have to keep your eyes open; chimps are interesting animals, and if you let them, they will tell you their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film is produced for Discovery Networks International by Keo Films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EDINBURGH: Discovery Networks International is premiering the documentary Rise of the Warrior Apes on its portfolio of factual channels, including Animal Planet in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":477,"featured_media":9085,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[220,224,1482,1483],"class_list":["post-9084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-animal-planet","tag-discovery-networks-international","tag-keo-films","tag-rise-of-the-warrior-apes","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Discovery Networks International Lines Up Chimp-Themed Doc - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-networks-international-lines-up-chimp-themed-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Discovery Networks International Lines Up Chimp-Themed Doc - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"EDINBURGH: Discovery Networks International is premiering the documentary Rise of the Warrior Apes on its portfolio of factual channels, including Animal Planet in the U.S.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-networks-international-lines-up-chimp-themed-doc\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-08-24T16:23:14+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2015\/09\/RiseoftheWarriorApes-DiscoveryNetworksInternational-816.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Sara Alessi\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-networks-international-lines-up-chimp-themed-doc\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-networks-international-lines-up-chimp-themed-doc\/\",\"name\":\"Discovery Networks International Lines Up Chimp-Themed Doc - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-08-24T16:23:14+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-08-24T16:23:14+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-networks-international-lines-up-chimp-themed-doc\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-networks-international-lines-up-chimp-themed-doc\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/discovery-networks-international-lines-up-chimp-themed-doc\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Discovery Networks International Lines Up Chimp-Themed Doc\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/3a30a856ec6d9cc2372bf054d26a0418\",\"name\":\"Sara Alessi\",\"description\":\"Sara Alessi is the associate editor of World Screen.
