'Jane' by National Geographic
Can you imagine was life was like for Dr Jane Goodall when, as a 26-year-old woman, she first journeyed to Gombe to begin her research into the chimpanzees that lived there? 
She spent many years integrating herself within the chimpanzee troop that lived there, learning about their lives and getting to know each individual. She wasn’t a trained scientist at that time, but her dedication to discovering more about these amazing animals led her to observations about their behaviours that no-one else had ever discovered.A brand new documentary film, ‘Jane’ has been produced by National Geographic using over 100 hours of film shot in those early days at Gombe. A beautiful musical score and narration by Dr Goodall herself, using diaries and notes from the time, bring to stunning life her life and work, and you can see the passion she has for helping chimpanzees, and that led to her dedication to helping people, animals and the environment.[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYv8El1zsF8[/embed]‘Jane’ was first screened at an incredible event at the Hollywood Bowl in the USA, with a live orchestra playing the soundtrack.
