In nature, there are boundaries. One man spent the last 13 years of his life crossing them.

Werner Herzog's documentary film about the "Grizzly Man" Timothy Treadwell and what the thirteen summers in a National Park in Alaska were like in one man's attempt to protect the grizzly bears. The film is full of unique images and a look into the spirit of a man who sacrificed himself for nature.

Chilling first-hand documentation of a very brave young man, renouncing society and trying to find meaning among ferocious creatures in the wild. Tragic yet heart-warming
