The Florida Orchestra takes on an orchestral score from Philip Glass this weekend. The occasion? A screening of a documentary from award-winning director Brett Morgen, who drew from more than 100 hours of never-before-seen footage that’d been tucked away in the National Geographic archives for 50 years en route to creating a film about the story of Jane Goodall.
“It felt like watching the moon landing when I saw [the footage],” award-winning director Morgen told Vanity Fair. Thanks to TFO, this one will sound pretty damn epic, too.
