Discover the history and tenuous future of America’s most iconic wildlife species, the grizzly bear. Brought back from the brink of extinction in recent decades by environmental protections, grizzly bears have revealed their ability to not only rebound, but expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in more than 100 years. But that success comes at a cost to almost everyone, bears included. What challenges do wildlife agencies and communities suddenly face when trying to share the same landscape with our largest and perhaps fiercest predator? Learn the answers from the hearts and minds of grizzly bear experts and impacted stakeholders, including an attack survivor, who struggle to manage the delicate balance of humans and grizzlies competing for the same spaces and resources. This film decodes both the mystical allure and genuine fears of grizzly bears suddenly appearing beyond the horizon…with an astounding 235 grizzly bears included in this film that help tell this remarkable story.
