Coming soon (September 27) at a theater perhaps near you: famed chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall Live.
That’s an item for TMV because any time over the past five years when I’ve written about anything referring to Jane Goodall I’ve received many emails and we’ve had comments indicating many TMV readers are interested in and admire Jane Goodall. And, on a personal level, I not only have friends and a relative who worked for the Jane Goodall Institute, but before I started TMV I did some uncredited and credited writing for the JGI website on a per-piece basis.
To those interested in saving our earth’s animals, protecting the environment and who admire Goodall’s work, this is a special special special event:
Tuesday, September 27
Jane Goodall Live Exclusive In-Theater Event
8:00 p.m. ET / 7:00 p.m. CT / 6:00 p.m. MT / 8:00 p.m. PT (tape delayed).
Special Guests to include Dave Matthews
For the first time ever, famed chimpanzee research pioneer Jane Goodall will take audiences in select theaters across the country on an incredible journey through the memories of her life when she appears live to answer their pre-submitted questions during this special Fathom event. Celebrity guests include Dave Matthews and other terrific guests and surprises. This exclusive event also marks the national debut of “Jane’s Journey,” a cinematic biography which includes special appearances by Angelina Jolie and Pierce Brosnan. Newly found 8mm footage discovered in Jane’s home attic will be revealed during the evening which offers an intimate portrait of the private person behind the world-famous icon, whose work from her maiden research trip to Africa in 1960 to the present has transformed our perceptions of the relationship between humans and animals. Ticket pricing and a complete list of theaters for this one time only event are available at www.FathomEvents.com.
