Synopsis
Biography that reveals the spiritual dimension of scientist and animal rights activist Jane Goodall. The film traces Goodall's childhood in England -- where her earliest companion was a toy Chimpanzee named "Jubilee" -- to her decades with the wild chimps at Tanzania's Gombe Stream Reserve, to her "conversion" from scientist to environmental activist in the late 1980s. Goodall's beliefs have led her to a new career campaigning on behalf of reforestation, improved conditions for captive chimps and Roots & Shoots, her international environmental and humanitarian program for youth.
