Amazon Prime Video
Criterion ChannelFollows the story of "Grizzly Man" Timothy Treadwell and what the thirteen summers in a National Park in Alaska were like in his 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.
Grizzly Man is a collection of the tapes that Treadwell filmed during his time in Alaska. Herzog adds interviews with people who both supported and opposed his work alongside his own poignant commentary on Treadwell that adds new layers of meaning to the images. While his quest seems innocent and fairly harmless, wild grizzly bears are not known for living peacefully alongside humans ...
The "Grizzly Man" documentary utilises various narrative techniques to unravel the life and experiences of Timothy Treadwell. Director Werner Herzog successfully employs a combination of Treadwell's own footage, interviews with people who knew him, and supplemental narration. This helps in providing a balanced perspective on the events.
