Journey deep into the Alaskan wilderness with the amateur grizzly bear expert who lost his life in pursuit of his passion. In this acclaimed film, director Werner Herzog explores the life and death of wildlife preservationist Timothy Treadwell.

In October 2003, Treadwell's remains, along with those of his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, were discovered near their campsite in Alaska's Katmai National Park and Reserve – mauled and devoured by a grizzly.
