'Jane' Trailer: Brett Morgen's Acclaimed Jane Goodall Doc Has Monkeys
"Jane"

National Geographic has released the trailer for “Jane,” one of the most acclaimed documentaries of the Toronto International Film Festival — and potentially the year. Brett Morgen‘s film about Jane Goodall was described by IndieWire’s Kate Erbland as “the definitive portrait of Goodall, one that is also remarkably accessible and almost unbearably tender.” Also, there are monkeys, so what are you waiting for?

Here’s the synopsis: “‘Jane’ is the story of how Jane Goodall became Jane Goodall – using footage shot by future husband Hugo van Lawick of her first experiences in Gombe, Tanzania in the 1960s. Previously thought to be lost forever, the footage was only recently discovered in a storage unit, and has been now masterfully intercut with interviews of present day Jane Goodall to provide an in-depth portrait of her life.”

Morgen previously directed “Cobain: Montage of Heck,” “The Kid Stays in the Picture,” and “On the Ropes,” for which he received an Academy Award nomination. National Geographic will release “Jane” in theaters on October 20.
