This week, I went to London’s Imperial War Museum to see the free exhibition . It starts with some James Bond-style gadgets, including a lipstick with a hidden camera, a matchbox with a secret compartment and shoes that make fake footprints. I liked the “Lies and Deception” part on how armies spread disinformation, such as through a fake medical report from the second world war claiming that German wholegrain bread would cause all sorts of deadly illnesses.
I’ve also been watching . Just like any good drama, this new Netflix series has stories of turf wars, power struggles and betrayal. This time, though, the stars are chimps. As a deep look at a chimpanzee tribe in Kibale National Park, Uganda, it gives a real insight into how the chimps function as a society: how they communicate with each other, protect their land, raise their children and mourn their dead. It ‘s not only fascinating, but it’s also a beautiful watch.
