"Directed by Brett Morgen, the film draws "from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage that has been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years." The documentary offers an intimate portrait of Goodall and her chimpanzee research that "challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world." It's set to an orchestral score by composer Philip Glass."

The film presents an intimate portrait of Jane Goodall and her chimpanzee research, documenting field methods and relationships that challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time. The film credits that research with revolutionizing understanding of the natural world and frames Goodall's conservation legacy. The score is orchestral and composed by Philip Glass.
