Watch: The Woman Who Loves Giraffes 2018 123movies, Full Movie Online – In1956, four years before Jane Goodall ventured into the world of chimpanzees and seven years before Dian Fossey left to work with mountain gorillas, in fact, before anyone, man or woman had made such a trip, 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 behavior in the wild on that 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. In 1972, having published 20 research papers as an assistant professor of zoology at University of Guelph, the Dean of the university, denied her tenure. She couldn’t apply to the University of Waterloo because the Dean there told Anne that he would never give tenure to a married woman. This was the catalyst that transformed Anne into a feminist activist. For three decades, Anne Innis Dagg was absent from the giraffe world until 2010 when she was sought out by giraffologists and not just brought back to into the fold, but finally celebrated for her work..
Plot: Dr. Anne Innis Dagg re-traces the steps of her groundbreaking 1956 journey to South Africa to study giraffes in the wild. Now, at 85 years old, Anne sees a startling contrast between the world of giraffes she once knew and the one it has become. Weaving through the past and present, her harrowing journey gives us an intimate look into the factors that destroyed her career and the forces that brought her back.

Must see cinema !!
I love giraffes. I love Anne Innis Dagg. I love her story except the part where the stupid men deny her jobs based on her sex. But back to the movie……how many of us in 1956 at age 23, would have thought to travel off to Africa to study giraffe. Anne did, and with a whole lot of creative thinking , she managed to locate a farmer who would let her board, while she would go out into the countryside each day and observe the giraffes. Eventually returning to Canada , she wrote and published copious amounts of materials based on her observations, and was deemed to be the worlds expert on giraffes. Anne’s personal story is fascinating. The giraffe are fascinating. One can’t help but come away from this film feeling more empathetic to the giraffes’ endangered existence !!
Another film that glorifies White people who go to Africa to save animals….next!.
Obviously the woman cares deeply about Giraffes which is commendable but from the looks of the film she was in SA for like 2 seconds studying giraffes and only went once to Africa for academic reasons and then 50 years later for tourism. So it is yet another film about Africa where there are mostly White people and animals filling the story line…how cliched.. right? Less than 2 minutes of footage had shots with Black Africans – who quite frankly if they interviewed probably also have extensive knowledge of giraffes. FYI. Africa is a continent not a country, which the film often refers to her going to Africa instead of SA. The whole film praises her for how adventurous she is to go to the Dark Continent as a solo wealthy White Woman to study giraffes in the wild…please….give me a break!?!No doubt she is cool to have challenged the establishment about gender equality but overall the film is pretty boring. By all means, save the giraffes and I applaud her for that but at least have responsible film making that doesn’t rely on stereotypical views of Africa.
