Jane Goodall and Michael Aufhauser remember how they brought chimpanzees in need of rescue to Aufhauser’s Animal Sanctuary in Austria. In a rare, unscripted moment, we see Goodall retain the dignity and eloquence of her copious public videos while laughing and joking candidly; in turn, we see Aufhauser’s admiration and warmth towards Goodall. He says he “never would have dared” hold chimpanzees in his sanctuary if it were not for Goodall believing in him. Goodall says that because of him, the chimps were rescued and allowed to stay in a German-speaking country, a language and culture that they recognized.

The people that Jane Goodall once inspired speak on how they came to work for her.

Tori Zwisler, chair of the board of the Shanghai Roots and Shoots program, explains how meeting Goodall changed her path in life. Roots and Shoots staff member Greg Maclsaac explains how he promised Goodall would visit all the schools that began the Roots and Shoots programs and Goodall decided to honor that promise. Goodall speaks throughout the video about her program as well.
