Many researchers perceived chimpanzees as primitive, simple creatures, but Jane saw something else altogether. The animals she observed displayed high intelligence, emotional responses, and complex social behavior. In fact, Goodall found striking similarities between chimpanzee and human behavior. In everything from warfare to parenting, facial expressions to displays of affection, the two species appeared to be closely related.
Watching the Gombe chimp clan interact at close range in Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees, it's hard to deny the connection. Poignant footage captures the great apes in their natural environment: playing games to pass the time, fighting with family members, vying for attention, and lounging in the grass on a hot summer day. Surprisingly humanlike, their mannerisms and interactions are so familiar as to be remarkable.
This film recounts the story of Goodall's inspirational journey, from those first months of doubt and struggle to the breakthroughs that placed her among the luminaries of modern science. Informed by an open mind and years of close study, Goodall's work redefined human understanding of chimpanzees and, ultimately, of mankind itself.
