Much of the footage in Morgen’s dazzling portrait of the trailblazing English primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall, capturing her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees in late 1950s Tanzania, was thought lost. Beautifully restored, it provides a stunning account of Goodall’s interaction with the chimp world, in which she often put herself at high risk. Her incisive and frequently witty voiceover is accompanied by Glass’s fine orchestral score.
