Abstract

The Ouzoude's waterfalls are located in the Moroccan High Atlas, in the middle of forests of cedar and juniper. This is one of the most beautiful sites in the world. The site of Ouzoude's waterfalls is not only visited by humans,but also by Barbary Macaques, a highly endangered species. Indeed, twice a day, the maggots come out of their hiding place in the forest, down to the nearby cliff and come to the site in search of food. The documentary shows us around this beautiful area which is the natural habitat of these monkeys, and at the same time makes us follow the training steps of the maggot monkey, used for tourism purposes.
