Eva Demmler

Country: Deutschland

Eva Demmler had originally wanted to study monkeys in their natural habitat before starting to make films. Nowadays she films monkeys and other primates. Her latest documentary “A Pharmacy for Monkeys – Jungle Medicine” was a joint production with Axel Friedrich. What needs to be done to stop humans from further destroying environments where wild animals roam free – that is the question on which the filmmaker focuses in her work.
