Jane Goodall - Beauty and the Beasts
Documentary about Jane Goodall, a young secretary from Bournemouth with no scientific qualifications, who entered a remote forest in Africa in 1960 and became accepted by a group of wild chimpanzees. Her discoveries transformed our understanding of them and challenged the way we define ourselves as human beings by showing just how close we are as a species to our closest living relatives. In the film, we discover the person behind the myth, what motivates her and the personal cost her life's work has exacted from her.
Cast: Jane Goodall, David Attenborough, Desmond Morris
