With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for spy-story fans and anyone with a complicated family (so, everyone). Nobody is quite who they seem. Sits nicely alongside Koyaanisqatsi. Family ties get tested in ways that ring true.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 1 hr 47 min.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
It would be hard to name anyone who has had more of an impact in the realm of animal research and wildlife conservation than Jane Goodall, whose 45 year study of wild chimpanzees in Africa is legendary. In Jane's Journey, we travel with her across several continents, from her childhood home in England, to the Gombe National Park in Tanzania where she began her groundbreaking research and where she still returns every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees that made her famous. Featuring a wide range of interviews and spectacular footage from her own private collection, Jane's Journey is an inspiring portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon.
