More than 20 years ago, Dr. Jane Goodall, now 75, decided to give up her
career as a primatologist, as well as her private life, in order to
devote all her energy to saving our endangered planet. Since then she's
been spending 300 days a year scouring the globe on her mission to
spread hope for future generations. She has taken on the
responsibilities of a UN Messenger of Peace, and has been honored with
countless awards. In Jane's Journey, we accompany her on her travels
across several continents, and receive unprecedented access to her
intense and exciting past. From her childhood home in Bournemouth,
England, we embark to Gombe National Park on the shores of Lake
Tanganyika, in Tanzania, her second home. It's where she began her
groundbreaking research nearly half a century ago, and she still returns
every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees.
