The Primate Citizen follows the unprecedented challenge to break down the social and legal wall for orangutan Sandra to find a better place to live. In 2014, Sandra was given the legal status from a court in Argentina. That implies she can live in an appropriate space as a non-human person. Sandra’s lawyers proposed to move her to a private sanctuary in Brazil. But her owner, Buenos Aires Zoo, insists her best place will be an improved enclosure. Here starts Sandra’s dilemma. Sandra is legally a subject in Argentina. But if she moves outside the country, she wouldn′t be able to maintain her status. To keep it, she should have a kind of passport to guarantee her rights. If Sandra were a wild orangutan, it would be simpler. Healthy wild orangutans are better suited to return to the wild. But Sandra was born in captivity and has lived in the care of human beings. She doesn’t know the natural life. Where does Sandra prefer to live? How much freedom do we allow for her?
