The Sweetwaters Chimpanzee Sanctuary has gained fame since its foundation in 1993, an initiative of Jane Goodall amongst others, who has spent her life looking out for the welfare of these primates. Recognizing that all three are connected is the heart of our community-centred approach. Today, that work continues across 34 chimpanzee ecoregions (Chimpscapes), and includes animals, people, and the environments they share. As for the DVD, it's not the same as seeing in an IMAX theatre, and despite that the source has such a high quality, I personally did not see that much of a difference between this and DVD made with regular cameras. It was party founded by Jane Goodall, who has spent her life looking out for the welfare of these animals. Jane Goodall’s trailblazing journey began in Tanzania over 60 years ago. I think the music (songs) and score (background music), which beautifully blend together, are better in this documentary, but I may be biased. ![]() Comparing it to other IMAX documentaries I recently watched: it was better then "Greatest places", which has more great (IMAX like) footage but has no storyline, but not as good as "Dolphins". Jane Goodall and her mother Vanne arrive on the shores of Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve in western Tanzania. I recall that the movie only became melodramatic (bweh) once the other times it either remained with the facts or it was clearly an opinion of Jane which was portraited. I appreciated that the documentary refrained from having too many emotional taglines, which seems to be common in American documentaries. Despite the sad truth that only 150.000 chimpanzees remain in Africa today (against 1 to 2 million a century ago), the mood of the documentary remains positive and focuses on the human aspect (no pun intended). The emphasis of the documentary is clearly on Jane Goodall and the chimpanzees she studies: the documentary briefly tells what she discovered beside telling the story of her life. Thankfully, it was better then I expected, and not because the short arial shot of Africa, but due to the content of the story. Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees is about chimps, not impressive natural phenomena, so my expectations where moderate. In my opinion, the best IMAX movies are those which show spectacular nature because that would be most impressive on a large IMAX screen. The reason to view it was due to the music of Johnny Clegg featuring in it. I've seen this documentary first at an IMAX theatre and later on DVD. ![]()
