A film highlighting the plight of the orangutans will be coming to an arts centre in Dorset.

'The Eyes of the Orangutan' is an exploration into some of the troubling facets of modern wildlife tourism and a celebration of one of our closest living animal relatives.

It will be shown at the Shaftesbury Arts Centre at 7pm on Friday, July 7.

From the studio that brought you ‘Ivory Game’ and ‘Sea of Shadows’, film presenter Aaron Gekoski said that during the making of the movie the team was taken by surprise, having underestimated the enormity of what they were going to uncover.

Tickets are £15 and are available from eyesoftheorangutan.com/
