`Nature' eyes sad life of captive chimps

PASADENA, Calif. - "Chimpanzees: An Unnatural History" is a program that will probably make many viewers cry.

But Allison Argo felt she had to stay as dry-eyed and clear-sighted as possible while making this documentary, which she also narrates.

It can't have been easy.

The documentary, which on Sunday night launches the 25th season of PBS' "Nature" (see local listings), explores the sad story of generations of captive chimps — our very genetically close relatives, with almost 99 percent of the same DNA as humans.
