Synopsis: Before she became the renowned humanitarian, conservationist, and animal activist, Dr. Jane Goodall was a little girl with a stuffed toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Me...Jane is the true story of young Goodall who, accompanied by Jubilee, went on outdoor expeditions and observed the miracles of nature. As result of her adventures, Jane dreams of spending the rest of her life helping and learning from animals. By believing in herself, living her dreams, and knowing that she can make a difference, Jane grows up to do just that.
