Director Brett Morgen and subject Jane Goodall were in attendance to introduce the stunning documentary, National Geographic’s JANE at the 2017 New York Film Festival.

JANE is the story of how Jane Goodall became Jane Goodall – using footage shot by future husband Hugo van Lawick of her first experiences in Gombe, Tanzinia in the 1960’s. Previously thought to be lost forever, the footage was only recently discovered in a storage unit, and has been now masterfully intercut with interviews of present day Jane Goodall to provide an in-depth portrait of her life.

JANE will be released in select theaters starting October 20.
