Director : Werner Herzog Country of origin : Germany / USA Language : English (104 mins) SYNOPSIS Timothy Treadwell 's death was as sensational as his life: Having presumed he could live safely among the grizzly bears of the Alaskan wilderness, the outdoorsman and author was eventually killed and devoured by one of the very animals to whom he had devoted years of study. In telling this story, famed German filmmaker Werner Herzog (Nosferatu, Fitzcarraldo) relies considerably on Treadwell 's own video footage, shot during his time in the wild, taking Treadwell 's story into unexpected emotional frontiers and startling landscapes of the mind. Treadwell is an intriguing, infuriating, perhaps even tragic figure. But Herzog himself is equally compelling, and this brilliant film is just one reason why.
