Grizzly Man

For thirteen years, Timothy Treadwell ventured into the Alaskan grizzly bear preserve to live among the bears and protect them. He filmed himself up close, and his candor, idealism, and naivety won over the public. Werner Herzog returns to Treadwell’s footage and to the people who knew him, drawing a portrait of a classically Herzogian hero: obsessive, sensitive, and on the edge of madness. A masterpiece that offers an unmediated look at animals and humans as they truly are.
