The Jane documentary promises to deepen our appreciation for Goodall’s pioneering efforts and provide a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the life of one of the most influential scientists of our time.

This is more than just a documentary; it’s an exploration of a lifetime of dedication, compassion, and groundbreaking discoveries.
