Cairo Connection - Egypt

Synopsis

In January 2005, six baby chimpanzees and four monkeys were rescued from a crate at Nairobi airport after arriving on a flight from Cairo. Dehydrated and stressed, one of the infants died shortly after confiscation. Investigators Carl and Jason Mir traced the shipment back to a network of wildlife smugglers, revealing the illegal trade in endangered species. The documentary details their efforts to expose the complicity of dealers and government officials in this ongoing crisis, as demand for bush meat and exotic pets fuels the black market.
