Unnatural Selection is a fascinating documentary that dives into a lesser-known conflict during the Georgian-Abkhaz war. The Sukhumi Monkey Nursery, caught in the crossfire, serves as a haunting backdrop, and the film captures that tension beautifully. You get a raw look at how the chaos disrupts not just human lives but the lives of these animals too. The pacing is intense, with moments of quiet reflection amidst the urgency of war. The practical effects are quite minimal, focusing more on real footage and interviews rather than overproduced elements. It’s a grim reminder of the impact of war, but it’s also a powerful exploration of resilience, both in humans and in our primate relatives. Definitely a unique piece worth having in any serious collection.
