Limited in scope, but well-made


Last night I was trying to find some use for my Disney+ subscription now that The Mandalorian is over and I ran across this documentary. I had never even heard of it before but decided to give it a watch.

I'm glad I did. While the story it tells is rather limited in scope--focusing almost entirely on a span of Jane Goodall's life in her younger years during the 60s and 70s--it is interesting to see her origin story, documented by a feature film's worth of archive footage. I really knew very little about her going into the film and now have a much better understanding of who she is and what her work is all about.

If you are interested in the natural world and one prominent researcher's backstory, you should enjoy it.
