Deep in Japan's mountainous north lives the country's only known white monkey. Fifteen years ago, dentist Toru Endoh became fascinated by the white monkey, which local legend says brings peace to the area. When he first began to study and observe this rarity, Endohfound four albino monkeys, of which the white monkey in this program is the only survivor. Because of this genetically inherited condition, it is quite rare for albino animals to survive in the wild. By documenting Endoh's years of personal study, this program stresses the importance of protecting the natural environment of not only the white monkey, but also all animals.
