$5 – $10
Guest Speakers: Dr. John “Jack” Hopkins, Assistant Professor of Wildlife Biology, Unity College, and Deanna Witman, Assistant professor of Environmental Humanities, Unity College
Grizzly Man chronicles the life and death of bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell, who was killed, along with his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, by a rogue bear in October 2003. In one of the most extreme — and ultimately tragic — experiments in human-animal cohabitation ever attempted, for 13 consecutive summers, Treadwell lived (and finally died) among the bears at an Alaskan national park. The footage that he himself shot forms the core of this fascinating inquiry into the fragile relationship between man and nature. (R, 2005, 104 min.)
Admission: $10/$5 for Maine Film Center Members and Students
