Editorial Review:

Description:
In the summer of 1960, 26-year-old Jane Goodall set out for Africa. Her mission was to find and observe an elusive tribe of chimpanzees. Today, almost three decades later, Jane has grown from a stranger to the chimp's loyal friend and strongest ally. Her lifelong dedication to the study of chimpanzees has helped to identify them as man's closest relative. In JANE GOODALL: MY LIFE WITH THE CHIMPANZEES, this extraordinary woman shares her personal story of the triumphs and trials that come with leading a life in the wild.

Amazon.com:
This is a well-made documentary with excellent footage, a complementary musical score, and a well-organized narrative that gives viewers a full portrait of a woman who, in 1960, went alone into the heart of Africa at the age of 26 and remained there for decades studying chimpanzees.

Louis Leakey chose Goodall's vocation for her. As his secretary she did not think she had the proper qualifications to study chimps, but he knew otherwise. He sent her to Gombe National Park in Tanzania. The details of Goodall's life given in this video describe not only why Goodall chose such an unusual life but how she has been able to do it, giving the viewer a reason to care about her and in turn about the chimps.

By observing the chimp societies for three decades, she discovered that they used tools, and though she originally thought they were more gentle than humans, she learned they had a dark side too. In 1975 four of her students were kidnapped by armed rebels from Zaire and were held for 10 weeks. Goodall was harshly criticized for caring more about her research than about her students. Confronting the controversy on film makes for fascinating dialogue as Goodall defends herself.

In Jane Goodall: My Life with the Chimpanzees, viewers will learn as much about this incredibly outspoken woman as about the chimps. Her crusade to save them in the wild (at the time of the filming there were only 160 chimps left in Gombe National Park) is extremely important, as is her campaign to improve the situations of chimps in zoos or in laboratories living in horrible conditions. A visit to the chimp cages in a U.S. lab is done with utmost taste but is still mind-blowing. With a smile and mimicking a chimp's hello, Goodall gently forces us all to question the ethics of animal testing. --Cristina Del Sesto

Im doing a research paper about jane goodall- my life with the chimps and this website helped a lot. thank you!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "If I ever go to Heaven, I hope it is like the forests of Gombe."
In one of National Geographic's most famous videos, Jane Goodall's pioneering studies of the chimpanzees in the Gombe forest of Tanzania come to life in living color. Goodall began her work in 1957, when she was a 23-year-old protégée of Dr. Louis Leakey, volunteering to become the first person to study chimpanzees for an extended period of time. Eventually, she would spend thirty years living in a tent and enduring difficult conditions, studying three generations of the same chimpanzee family. ... Read More

I recently saw this video in my science class, and really loved it. Jane Goodall is my role model, yet I belive that everybody would enjoy this biography about a remarkable woman. I know I did. Also, if this video intrests you, try Reason for hope: a spirtual journey by Jane Goodall! ENJOY!

Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003.

No cruise schedules have yet been announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008.
