The Trailer for a New Documentary About Jane Goodall Is Here and We’ve Watched It 100 Times (VIDEO)

The trailer for National Geographic’s JANE, a film that centers on iconic British primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall is here! Award-winning director Brett Morgen uses hours of never before seen footage to tell the story of a fearless young woman whose chimpanzee research changed our view of our closest living relative. The film focuses on Goodall’s early exploration work and her relationship with chimpanzees and how she forever altered the landscape of male-dominated science. We can’t wait!

We have Jane Goodall to thank for our modern understanding of primate behavior and for completely changing our global perspective about how humans relate to animals. Her endless compassion for animals, humans, and the natural world that unites us all has inspired millions of people across the world to stand up and make a difference. Whether that difference comes in the form of standing up for abused animals, planting a tree to help regrow a forest or simply speaking to others about the importance of respecting all living things, innumerable actions have been spawned by Goodall’s influence. There is no debating the fact that Dr. Jane Goodall has changed the world for the better.

While we patiently wait for the movie to be released on October 5th, 2017, we will just have to watch the trailer over and over again. If you know any other Goodall-fanatics, be sure to share the trailer with them, too!
