The Woman Who Loves Giraffes
1 x 83’ or 1 x 60’, 2019, HD
In 1956 at the age of 23, Anne Innis Dagg travelled to South Africa to become the world’s first scientist to study the behaviour of an animal in the wild. Her pioneering efforts were groundbreaking, but her career was destroyed upon her return home. In ‘The Woman Who Loves Giraffes’, Anne takes us on her first expedition back to Africa to retrace her trailblazing journey and offers an intimate window into her life as a young woman, juxtaposed with a first hand look at the devastating reality that giraffes are facing today.
