This is a sweet story of how a capuchin monkey, called Gigi, helps a young man, called Nate, after he becomes paralysed and needs to use a wheelchair. He experiences a lot of physical pain, especially during physiotherapy. Gigi helps him cope with the pain and also assists him, so he is able to enjoy life again. I don't know how accurately this film portrayed how a service monkey can assist and it seemed very one sided, portraying animal right activists as nasty people. In general, I do agree that wild animals should not be kept as pets or used as service animals. In this story the monkey was rescued from a 'zoo' then trained as a service animal. People who have a service dog keep it on a leash in public, so Nate was irresponsible not having Gigi tethered.
