Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man chronicles the life and death of bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell, who was killed along with his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, by a bear in October 2003. In one of the most extreme experiments in human-animal cohabitation ever attempted, Treadwell lived (and ultimately died) among the bears at an Alaskan national park over the course of 13 consecutive summers. The footage that he himself shot forms the core of this fascinating inquiry into the fragile relationship between man and nature.

Grizzly Man

"A brilliant portrait of adventure, activism, obsession and potential madness that ranks among helmer Werner Herzog's strongest work."
"Herzog is still the only person who could have made Grizzly Man. His admiration for Treadwell has its limits, but he understands, better than most directors, what it means to follow dreams into the belly of the beast."
