JANE

Environmental Documentary
USA 2017, D: BRETT MORGEN, 90 min.

Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen silent footage that had been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years, Emmy-nominated director and writer Brett Morgen tells the story of Jane, a woman whose chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world. Featuring a rich orchestral score from legendary composer Philip Glass, the film offers an unprecedented, intimate portrait of Jane Goodall – a trailblazer who defied the odds to become one of the world‘s most admired conservationists.
