HISTORY
The Bandit Boys formed during baby school at the Nyaru Menteng Rescue and Rehabilitation Center. Still in diapers, it became apparent that a certain group of boys just liked to cause trouble… together. The mischief makers included: Saturnus, Togar, Mercury, Donald, Milo and Rocky and occasionally other troublemakers… but that was by invitation only.
LIFE ON ORANGUTAN ISLAND
Groups form and break up… but the Bandit Boys are sticking together on Orangutan Island. Their usual activities include food fights, food stealing, how many orangutans can fit on one branch before it breaks, and free for all wrestling matches. Sometimes their idea of fun includes bullying – usually physical. This isn’t really too serious but it can be stressful for the victim, especially for less confident members of the community or those who are going through a crisis.
But they do come together for positive reasons as well. In an amazing act of community the Bandit Boys, lead by an unlikely new member, Daisy, take action against Hamlet the invader to rescue one of their own; the beautiful Jasmine.
