The story of animal researcher and environmentalist
Timothy Treadwell, who studied grizzly bears in Alaska for 13 seasons and mistakenly presumed he could live safely among them. Along with his girlfriend,
Amie Huguenard, he was killed and devoured by a grizzly in October 2003.
This world would be awesome with more people like Tim Treadwell in it. What a gentle, loving person. The scenes of him just being there with bears near him -- not touching them or bothering them in any way, just existing where they were existing, were so powerful.
Saw this on Discovery Channel over a week ago. It left such an impression on me that I`m still thinking about it, which is unusual for something I saw on a small screen. I would have loved to see it on the big screen. Although I really loved the extra show at the end, where his friends talk about their reactions to the film, and how they thought Timothy would`ve reacted. Long live Treadwell`s memory. You were an awesome person.
Wonderful documentary. Very inspiring.
