Becoming Orangutan

Lean on Me investigates how making friends can be the difference between success and failure. As three recent arrivals attend their first day of class, older students explore the complex and navigate the often complex relationships they form during their schooling. From the ‘bromance’ between young males Valentino, Yutris, and Madara, to fan-favourite Big Boy Beni being the target of a bully, these stories illustrate how the relationships these orphans form are fundamental in their journey to becoming orangutans.

Buckle in for a roller coaster of emotions as the sanctuary's orangutans move toward their release into the wild and Beni goes on a diet.
