The Woman Who Loves Giraffes at Palm Springs Cultural Center
The Woman Who Loves Giraffes
Animal Stories presents THE WOMAN WHO LOVES GIRAFFES- a joint fundraiser for The Living Desert and Palm Springs Culutral Center.
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 on that continent. Her pioneering efforts were ground-breaking, but her career was destroyed upon her return home.
Join us for a special Animal Stories presententation in partnership with The Living Desert as we screen the documentary THE WOMAN WHO LOVES GIRAFFES. Follow an older (now 85), wiser Anne Dagg as she takes us on her first expedition back to Africa to retrace where her trail-blazing journey began more than half a century ago. By retracing her original steps, and with letters and stunning, original 16mm film footage, Anne offers us 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.
