Probing the question: "Are we ready to accept a human-ape hybrid in
our midst?" What if humans were able to reproduce with other great
apes? What would the hybrid offspring look like? Act like? Think
like? And how would humans respond? Would such creatures be allowed
to live among us? Or would they be put under a microscope in a zoo
or research facility? Lucinda Gerson is an outspoken, free-spirited
working-class single mother. Lively and unpredictable, she's the
sort of person you might call "one of a kind." Her child Bonbon is
quite literally one of a kind. When Lucinda spends the money she
has inherited from an uncle on a trip to visit her anthropologist
sister in the Congo, she comes back pregnant. Lucy and Bonbon is
the story of mother and child, and of the controversy that swirls
around them over the course of the child's first fourteen years. It
is a story of freedom and captivity, of love and friendship, of
borders and of border crossings, and of what it means to be a human
animal.
