Event Details
You’ve seen the documentaries and know the photography. Now, travel back in time through the lens of exploration during a National Geographic film experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Among the Wild Chimpanzees
In this week’s screening, we explore highlights from Dr. Jane Goodall's epic study of chimpanzees in the wild in honor of World Chimpanzee Day. In 1960 Jane Goodall set out for Tanzania's remote Gombe Stream Game Reserve to study the behavior of human's closest relative, the chimpanzee. This program looks at two landmark decades of Jane Goodall's work, including her dramatic discovery of chimpanzees making and using tools.
