In 1957, Dr. Louis Leakey hires 26 year old secretary Jane Goodall to join his chimpanzee study. She had no experience or scientific degree. She travels to Gombe with her mother into the jungle. After many fruitless months, Jane is finally accepted into a chimpanzee group. Her discovery of tool making by the chimps would create an uproar and a change in the definition of mankind. National Geographic sends Hugo Van Lawick to film her exploits. They would marry and have son Grub.
It's a National Geographic doc about one of their own luminaries. Some people are famous for nothing. Some people have toiled in obscurity for something important. Jane Goodall has become famous for her persistent work with chimps and other creatures. She has made a difference in the world. This is a wonderful journey. It doesn't hurt that the young soft-spoken Jane contains the heart of a lion and the face of an angel. She is a role model for millions especially little girls. She is somebody who has lived a life. This is good standard documentary. The nature filming is impeccable. The early footage is amazing. It is compelling work.
