Theres an island in the middle of a river in Liberia, deep in the jungle of West Africa thats said to be home to over 60 chimpanzees, all infected with contagious diseases. They were released there years ago after being used for medical research and now they roam wild. While the tale is definitely dark, there is a bright spot near the end. Working with a team of Liberians, the New York Blood Center continues to feed the chimps, most -- if not all -- of whom have recovered from their diseases and continue to live out their lives on a very real Island of the Apes.
