Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage that has been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years, Academy award-winning director 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.

Set to a rich orchestral score from legendary composer Philip Glass, the film offers an unprecedented, intimate portrait of Jane Goodall â€" a trailblazer who defied the odds to become one of the world's most admired conservationists.

"Transcends the boundaries of both nature films and biographies. It's epic elements of adventure, romance, and spiritual connection possess a sweep equal to any narrative film. A wondrous, moving and truly stirring portrait that puts us right there with Goodall to share in her discoveries, propelled by the majestic sounds of Philip Glass. This is a truly stirring legacy portrait."

"Few films this year offer up such lush and formal components. Morgen has made a film of deep emotional beauty.Required viewing for anyone seeking a classic in the making."
