It’s been a long road but on July 29th 2020 the documentary "Monkeys of Bioko” will air for US audiences on the Smithsonian Channel. Thanks to Drill Films and Gulo Films Productions the drills have finally made it on TV here in the US. Monkeys of Bioko is the Smithsonian Channel’s version of “Lost Kings of Bioko” which aired in Europe late in 2019.

We hope that this film will highlight this incredible and previously overlooked species while showcasing their island home of Bioko. As we continue to fight the illegal bushmeat trade and conduct scientific research on the drills it is important to provide well rounded solutions to conservation issues. That is why we are working with the government agencies on Equatorial Guinea to promote eco-tourism. Through sustainable tourism we can provide the people of Bioko with meaningful employment while also protecting the drills for generations to come.

SYNOPSIS

Roughly 20 miles off the coast of west Africa, sits a volcanic relic now completely blanketed in equatorial rainforest: the island of Bioko. It's home to some very rare species, including the drill -- one of the most endangered primates in the world. Join us on a jungle expedition as we uncover the secret life of these reclusive primates and track down the seasonal migration of the goby -- a plucky fish battling its way upriver past strong currents, deadly predators, and even a 100-foot waterfall, to reach the spawning grounds of its youth.
