Desert Sun Reviews Jane's Journey (9 out of 10)
Scorecard: 9 (out of 10). German filmmaker Lorenz Knauer has crafted a comprehensive biography of someone who is the personification of commitment. In addition to archival footage of Dr. Goodall at work throughout the years, Knauer's artful camera follows her around the world as she inspires young and old with her talks and admonitions. “We must learn to live in peace and harmony, not only with each other, but with the natural world,” she states in the film. Along the way we encounter her allies in her missions, including Pierce Brosnan, Angelina Jolie and Kofi Annan.
“We all have to get involved,” Dr. Goodall says. “We all have to make decisions in our daily lives to make a difference.” Seeing this film will move you and stir you to action.
