Grizzly Man

For 13 summers, Timothy Treadwell lived alone among grizzly bears in Alaska, filming himself closer to these magnificent, feared predators than anyone had ever dared.

Werner Herzog crafts an unforgettable documentary from Treadwell's own footage—100 hours of intimate bear encounters, passionate monologues, and a man's descent into dangerous delusion. Through Herzog's philosophical narration, we witness Treadwell's deep devotion to protecting the bears he named and loved, even as experts warned his behavior violated every safety rule and put both himself and the animals at risk.

A meditation on obsession and dedication that explores the tragic cost of refusing to accept nature's boundaries—essential viewing about when passion crosses into fatal delusion.
