The influence of tourists in Gibraltar is increasing concern for the Barbary apes as the constant feeding and attention is upsetting their natural niche. Apes have become less fearful of humans which encourages them to explore the lower areas of town in search for food leaving the safety of the upper rock.

For the locals they are a nausiance because they steal food and vandalise our bins. In my final film I wish to show the apes perspective and try to visually capture why they steal food. To gain sympathy from an audience it will have a tradgic ending where the friendship between two apes is broken because one of them will die. This tradgic end is caused by the intervention of tourists.
