Beschreibung In 1960, the 26 year old Jane Goodall came to Tansania to proof her – mainly male – colleagues wrong in how to study primates. Without formal training, Goodall took a different approach, driven by her love for the animals: investing a lot of time, she habituated a local chimpanzee population to her present, and reveals their intelligence and social behaviour.
In 1964, the dutch film maker Hugo van Lawick travels to Tansania to document Goodall’s work. They fall in love with each other and get a child. JANE director Brett Morgen’s documentary uses van Lawick’s footage of the animals, exclusive interviews with Jane Goodall, research material from the Jane Goodall Institute and private video recordings to present a woman fighting against oppostion.
The orchestral score of legendary composer Philip Glass frames an intimate portrait of Jane Goodall – a trailblazer who defied the odds to become one of the world’s most admired conservationists.

Following the film, Prof. Julia Fischer will discuss the importance of Jane Goodall for primatology with the audience. How did she influence the study of our closest living relatives? What is her roe today and how did field research change since the days of Jane Goodall?
The original English version will be shown with German subtitles. The discussion will be bi-lingual.
