Jane’s Journey. DVD. 1:51 hrs. Prod. by Bavaria Film Int’l. Dist. by First Run Features. 2011, 2013 release. ISBN unavail. $27.95. Gr 7 Up–The life and accomplishments of renowned researcher and environmentalist Jane Goodall are traced in this documentary. Dr. Goodall first captured international attention a quarter of a century ago when National Geographic published an article detailing her observations of primates in Gombe, Tanzania. Her early work completely shifted scientific notions of what primates eat and how they use tools. Today, as a UN Messenger of Peace, Goodall travels the world educating children and adults about the importance of conservation and environmental stewardship. From humble beginnings in England to the world stage, this charismatic and engaging scientist continues to be a driving force in the call to balance human consumption with the needs of our planet. Her institute and international Root & Shoots educational foundation help deliver her message to hundreds of thousands of people each year. This vividly filmed documentary features archival footage from Goodall’s childhood and original fieldwork as well as interviews with her family and celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Pierce Brosnan. A good selection for upper middle and high school media centers.–Vincent M. Livoti, University of Maine at Augusta
