Full Plot Details

More than 20 years ago, Dr. Jane Goodall, now 75, decided to give up her career as a primatologist, as well as her private life, in order to devote all her energy to saving our endangered planet. Since then she's been spending 300 days a year scouring the globe on her mission to spread hope for future generations. She has taken on the responsibilities of a UN Messenger of Peace, and has been honored with countless awards. In Jane's Journey, we accompany her on her travels across several continents, and receive unprecedented access to her intense and exciting past. From her childhood home in Bournemouth, England, we embark to Gombe National Park on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, in Tanzania, her second home. It's where she began her groundbreaking research nearly half a century ago, and she still returns every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees that made her the internationally recognized activist so loved and deeply respected.This documentary offers an intimate portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon, possibly the most fascinating woman of our time, whose scientific breakthroughs are considered to be among the most important of the past 100 years.

Movie Reviews

Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn engrossing portrait of the public and private lives of Jane Goodall; one of the Best Documentaries of 2011.
SSG Syndicate - 8/10 by Susan GrangerIntriguing and inspirational, it's a beguiling film in every way.
Variety - 7/10 by Ronnie ScheibA worshipful tribute to the life and work of Jane Goodall.
The Hollywood Reporter - 7/10 by Deborah YoungOverall, film hits the right tone, and its brief but fascinating glimpses into Goodall's private life distinguishes it from the many TV docs on the lady.
Shockya.com - 7/10 by Brent SimonAn awkward and generally unfocused mash-up of mixed perspectives and mission statements.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierThough Lorenz Knauer's film is as thoughtful as his subject - with a break for interviews with Pierce Brosnan and Goodall's fellow UN Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie - the study of chimps is given short shrift.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Sandie Angulo ChenSlow but insightful documentary about pioneering activist.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Paul BrunickSkimps on intellectual substance but skirts by on the lightly likable charm of its subject.
Slant Magazine - 5/10 by Joseph Jon LanthierDespite the fact that Goodall narrates the bulk of the material, there are scant details about her concrete contributions to animal and life science save for her observing of chimp-made tools.
Village Voice - 5/10 by Rob NelsonSpectacularly photographed and journalistically lame, Jane's Journey blows a 105-minute kiss to Dr. Jane Goodall.
