JANE GOODALL: My mission was to get close to the chimpanzees and live among them, to be accepted. When I was 10 and I said, "I'm going to grow up, go to Africa, and live with wild animals and write books about them," everybody laughed. I wanted to do things which men did and women didn't.

BRETT MORGEN: Jane grew up in a time when women did not do the type of work she did. And she wasn't going to be deterred.

JANE GOODALL: Everything was so different. I didn't have any responsibilities except to learn about the chimpanzees. Thanks to Brett Morgen and the way that he treated this footage, it took me right back.

BRETT MORGEN: We had 150 hours of disparate shots, so we hired an army of people to come in. And I gave them categories like mating or eating or sleeping so we could at least see everything grouped in succession so we could get a sense of what we had.

JANE GOODALL: And it was very emotional for me to just see my life unrolling. There was more about my personal life than there has been in the other documentaries.

BRETT MORGEN: I decided that it needed to have a point of view. And I was going to express that point of view through music. To achieve that, I enlisted this support and aid of Philip Glass. And, when Philip delivered his first cue, I had tears going down my eyes. I think he said, I think I might have fallen in love with Jane.

JANE GOODALL: And it's come together to be rather an extraordinary film. So what I hope is it's going to bring back into people's minds a renewed determination to do their bit to save what's left of this planet.
