Drawing from over 100 hours of never-before-seen footage that has been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for over 50 years, award-winning director Brett Morgen tells the story of JANE, a woman whose chimpanzee research challenged the male-dominated scientific consensus of her time and revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.  Set to a rich orchestral score from legendary composer Philip Glass, the film offers an unprecedented, intimate portrait of Jane Goodall — a trailblazer who defied the odds to become one of the world’s most admired conservationists.

A discussion on New Jersey animal conservation with Bob Allen (Assistant State Director, The Nature Conservancy New Jersey), and Gretchen Fowles (N.J. Division of Fish and Wildlife, Endangered and Nongame Species Program) follows the screening.

Everyone in attendance will receive a free popcorn and tote bag, compliments of The Nature Conservancy.
