“Entrancing documentary questions the ethics of rewilding. Max Keegan explores both sides of the debate over reintroducing wild bears to the French mountains, offering a compassionate understanding of a local shepherd’s fear for his livelihood.” The BFI
An aging shepherd struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock. While, a teenage boy becomes obsessed with tracking the bears.
“Two endangered species scrap for survival in the Pyrenees. Farmers oppose the reintroduction of brown bears in Max Keegan’s immersive and beautiful documentary that resists snap judgments.” The Guardian
