Director: Werner Herzog

Multiple award winner including CFCA Award for Best Documentary, Chicago Film Critics Association Awards 2006; DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary, Directors Guild of America, USA 2006; LAFCA Award for Best Documentary/Non-Fiction Film, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards 2005; among others

A devastating and heart-rending take on grizzly bear activists Timothy Treadwell and Amie Huguenard, who were killed in October of 2003 while living among grizzly bears in Alaska.

In telling this story, Werner Herzog relies considerably on Treadwell's own video footage, shot during his time in the wild. The famed German director takes Treadwell's story into unexpected emotional frontiers and startling landscapes of the mind. Treadwell is an intriguing, infuriating, perhaps even tragic figure. But Herzog himself is equally compelling, and this brilliant film is just one reason why.
