En las montañas de África Central, unos cazadores furtivos atacan a un grupo de gorilas y, a pesar de la llegada de un grupo de preservacionistas para luchar contra ellos, no pueden evitar que un gorila y la madre de otro mueran. En la reyerta un enorme gorila ataca al jefe de los cazadores y le arranca dos dedos. Años más tarde, el gran gorila ha crecido y es protegido por Jill, una ecologista. Se ha convertido en una leyenda, pero cuando los furtivos descubren que es real intentarán cazarlo.

Drawing from never-before-seen footage that has been tucked away in the National Geographic archives, director Brett Morgen tells the story of Jane Goodall, a woman whose chimpanzee research revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.

It would be hard to name anyone who has had more of an impact in the realm of animal research and wildlife conservation than Jane Goodall, whose 45 year study of wild chimpanzees in Africa is legendary. In Jane's Journey, we travel with her across several continents, from her childhood home in England, to the Gombe National Park in Tanzania where she began her groundbreaking research and where she still returns every year to enjoy the company of the chimpanzees that made her famous. Featuring a wide range of interviews and spectacular footage from her own private collection, Jane's Journey is an inspiring portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon.
