In 1956, four years before Jane Goodall ventured into the world of chimpanzees and seven years before Dian Fossey&nbsp;left to work with mountain gorillas, 23-year-old biologist Anne Innis&nbsp;Dagg&nbsp;made an&nbsp;unprecedented&nbsp;solo&nbsp;journey to South Africa to study giraffes in the wild. In&nbsp;The&nbsp;Woman Who&nbsp;Loves&nbsp;Giraffes&nbsp;Anne (now 85) retraces her steps, and with letters and stunning, original 16mm film footage offers an intimate window into her life&nbsp;as a young woman, juxtaposed with a&nbsp;first hand&nbsp;look at the reality that giraffes are facing today. Both the&nbsp;world’s&nbsp;first ‘giraffologist,' whose research findings ultimately became the foundation for many scientists following in her footsteps, and the species she loves have each experienced&nbsp;triumphs&nbsp;as well as setbacks. The Woman Who Loves Giraffes gives us a moving perspective&nbsp;on&nbsp;both.&nbsp;&nbsp;“This&nbsp;warm&nbsp;documentary&nbsp;uses&nbsp;one&nbsp;woman’s&nbsp;singular&nbsp;passion&nbsp;to&nbsp;fuel&nbsp;a&nbsp;tale&nbsp;of&nbsp;zoological&nbsp;discovery, blatant sexism and environmental&nbsp;alarm.”&nbsp;– The New&nbsp;York&nbsp;Times&nbsp;
