Eric 03/04/2020 A wonderful Biography of a woman who loved giraffes ever since childhood. This woman travels unescorted to South Africa & into the bush to study giraffes in 1956! Courageous indeed! See more Carol F 01/17/2020 A warm, intelligent and informative documentary about an extraordinary woman whose passion for giraffes and ground breaking research was thwarted by the prejudices of the era. Fortunately her dedication and accomplishments have now been acknowledged. This is a movie for people who like animals - and people! See more Hilary 01/13/2020 Everyone should watch this for so many reasons. It is about the life of one woman who is amazing but so much more. Protection of animals, climate change, women's issues. This is IMPORTANT. See more Kyle M 10/02/2023 One of those documentaries that's fascinating as the subject's appeal, an opportune attempt in learning more through a protective advocate's caring, nurturing perspective with a subtle strain in emphasizing the wondrous importance of these innocent creatures, even if the prompted profile doesn't engage much due to minimal reputation but her fight against extinction in general argues excellent points. (B+) See more Rodrigo F 09/21/2023 Muy buen documental!! Se los recomiendo. See more dave d 09/06/2020 Hubby and wife date documentary night finds 'The Woman who loves Giraffes' which is the kind of thing you will like if you like this kinda thing. It's about a woman, Anne Dagg who was the foremost voice on Giraffes before disappearing from the industry. This doc is a tribute to her, and her work and it's pretty neat. Hard to have a dry eye after the finish. If you're a passionate person, you can't help but be inspired by Dagg. Wife: 7.7 Hubby 7.5 Average: 7.6/10 See more Read all reviews
