Grizzly Man

"Grizzly Man" is a chilling first-hand documentation of a brave young man who renounces society to find meaning among ferocious creatures in the wild, only to meet a tragic and heart-warming end. The film chronicles the life and death of bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell and his girlfriend Amie Huguenard at Katmai National Park, Alaska, where they were attacked and killed by a bear on October 5, 2003. Werner Herzog's documentary weaves together sequences shot by Treadwell himself, interviews with those who knew him, and professionals who deal with wild bears, offering a nuanced exploration of Treadwell's motivations and the dangers he faced in his pursuit of nature.
