Jane’s Journey

More than 20 years ago, Dr. Jane Goodall, now 77, decided to give up her career as a primatologist to devote all her energy to saving our endangered planet. Since then, she’s spent 300 days a year traveling the globe on her mission to spread hope for future generations. “Jane’s Journey” accompanies Goodall on her travels across several continents and gives viewers unprecedented access to her intense and exciting past, from her childhood in Bournemouth, England, to her years at Gombe National Park on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania. Goodall began her groundbreaking research at Gombe nearly a half-century ago, and she still returns every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees that made her an internationally recognized scientist. “Jane’s Journey” offers an intimate portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon, one of the most fascinating women of our time.
