Dir. Brett Morgan, US, 2017, 90 mins.
Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage that has been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years, Oscar®-nominated director Brett Morgan tells the story of primatologist Jane Goodall. Goodall's chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of the time and revolutionised our understanding of the natural world. Set to a majestic 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.
