What We Think

Chimp Empire is practically the antithesis of “woke”, it’s just chimps being chimps. No forced representation, no lectures, and absolutely zero ideological monoculture. For those tired of Hollywood’s usual preachiness, this one’s practically a breath of fresh jungle air.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Chimp Empire is a documentary about wild chimpanzee groups and avoids modern identity politics. The focus stays firmly on observing and narrating animal behavior, with no obvious imposition of human ideologies or forced representation. It’s refreshingly meritocratic, if a chimp is dominant, it’s because it earned it!

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no real commentary on human culture, gender roles, or tradition here. The documentary simply presents chimpanzee social hierarchies and dynamics without drawing modern social parallels or criticisms. It’s nature, not a lecture on humanity’s shortcomings.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Chimp Empire sticks to observing animal behavior and does not engage in ideological messaging. There's no villainizing of alternative worldviews, and the narrative remains biologically focused. No modern moral assumptions drive the story.
