That marriage, unfortunately, ended five years later when he succumbed to cancer. Later in the film, Jane's son Hugo, (better known as Grub) from her marriage to Van Lawick offers comments regarding his mother. Perhaps the basic reason for this film being made was to extol Goodall's life today. Nearly 25 years ago, she gave up her career to devote her entire time and energy in order to "save our endangered planet."

She now spends 300 days each year traveling to many countries around the world speaking on behalf of her organization, the Jane Goodall Institute, in hopes of reaching out to everyone to stress the importance of wildlife and animal conservation.

Watching this film, one can't help but admire this lady and her strong constitution for hard work and constant travel. She has made many friends throughout the world and deserves much credit for what she has accomplished and is working to achieve. Jane's Journey is written and directed by Lorenz Knauer and runs approximately 111 minutes.
