THE MOVIE
"Going to Africa, living with animals. That's all I've ever thought about." – Jane Goodall Oscar- and Emmy-nominated director Brett Morgen uses a trove of never-before-seen 16mm footage, dug 50 years from the National Geographic archives, to shed new light on pioneering environmentalist Jane Goodall. Described by the Wall Street Journal as "the leading revolutionary of American documentary film," Morgen tells Goodall's story beginning in 1960, when the 26-year-old British woman arrives in a remote area of northwestern Tanzania to study chimpanzees. Driven by her love of animals but without any formal training, Goodall triumphs in a male-dominated field and challenges conventional research methods with her unique approach to animal observation. She patiently gains the animals' trust and quickly makes headlines with the discovery that chimpanzees are highly intelligent social creatures that use tools to gather food.
When the Dutch filmmaker Hugo van Lawick was sent to document their work in 1964, the filmmaker and the subject soon fell in love, married and had a child together. But Goodall is devastated when her beloved chimpanzees succumb to a polio outbreak and enter a brutal war. Using van Lawick's stunning wildlife footage and exclusive interviews with Goodall, as well as research material from the Jane Goodall Institute and family videos of the Goodalls, Morgen offers an incomparable, intimate portrait of a woman who managed against the odds to become one of the world's most popular environmentalists.
Tip for school classes: We'll show the film how As usual, for a month in the school cinema at the desired morning time.
