JANE GOODALL -
REASON FOR HOPE
1 x 52'
Harrison Ford narrates an intensely personal portrait of this universally admired scientist and animal rights activist. Filmed on location in Tanzania, England, Paris and San Francisco, the programme looks beyond her scientific
career at the woman herself - her remarkable life and the deeply held spiritual beliefs that have been at the centre of her life and work.
Structured as a biography, the film traces Goodall's
childhood in England - where her earliest companion was a toy chimpanzee named 'Jubilee' - to her decades with wild chimps at Gombe, to her ‘conversion’ from scientist to environmental activist in the 1980's.
