Grizzly Man (2005)
Werner Herzog · 103m · 35mm

Timothy Treadwell, the eponymous Grizzly Man, was killed by grizzlies in Alaska following a controversial career protecting bears from poachers. Using Treadwell’s own footage and interviews with those who knew him, Herzog presents a complicated portrait of a man’s attempt to find kindness and civility in the wilderness. In this tragic and humanizing account, Herzog advances his thesis of Nature’s omnipresent coldness to humanity’s best intentions.
