Jane

In memory of Jane Goodall.

Using more than 100 hours of previously unseen footage that had been hidden in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years, award-winning director Brett Morgen tells the story of JANE — a woman whose groundbreaking primate research challenged the male-dominated world of science and revolutionized our understanding of nature. Accompanied by a rich, orchestral score by legendary composer Philip Glass, the film offers an unparalleled, intimate portrait of Jane Goodall — a trailblazer who defied all odds to become one of the world’s most admired conservationists.

“Go to Africa, live with animals. That’s all I’ve ever thought about.”
