Arrested Autonomy
"Following Ñoqui, Cesar, and Ness, three spider monkeys caught between captivity and freedom, Arrested Autonomy explores the fragile bonds formed in the space between rescue and release."
Deep in the Bolivian Amazon, infant spider monkeys Ñoqui, Cesar, and Ness have been rescued from hunters and the illegal pet trade. But returning to the jungle without their mothers is no easy task. Arrested Autonomy follows their uncertain journey as they attempt to reclaim their place in the wild, questioning whether a second chance at true freedom is possible when that freedom must be brokered by humans.
