Jane Goodall's Return to Gombe (2004 )

Every year, without fail, Jane Goodall breaks a grueling schedule of lecture tours and conservation work to go 'home' -- her spiritual home of Gombe National park in East Africa. This film follows her on that journey, returning to Tanzania to see her beloved chimps, some of whom her work has practically made household names - Fifi, Freud and Frodo. We'll hear her thoughts every step of the way during the weeks leading up to Gombe -- as she visits a chimp sanctuary in Congo, delivers a final lecture, attends meetings and continues her work for the Jane Goodall Institute. This film reveals a new side of Jane Goodall, the thoughts and emotions generally hidden from the multitude of film crews that have followed her in the past. Written by Tigress
