THE WOMAN WHO LOVES GIRAFFES (PG)

An award-winning documentary feature directed by Alison Reid.

In 1956, four years before Jane Goodall ventured into the world of chimpanzees, and seven years before Dian Fossey left to work with mountain gorillas, 23-year old Canadian biologist Anne Innis Dagg, made an unprecedented solo journey to South Africa to become the first person in the world to study animal behaviour in the wild on the African continent. When she returned home a year later, armed with ground-breaking research, the insurmountable barriers she faced as a female scientist proved much harder to overcome.
