Grizzly!

About This Movie

So, Grizzly! (1967) is one of those documentary treasures that really digs into the life of the grizzly bear and its fight against extinction. Directed by Irwin Rosten, the film follows the Craighead brothers, Frank and John, as they track these magnificent creatures through their natural habitats. The pacing is a bit slow at times, but that allows you to really soak in the atmosphere of the wild. There's a rawness to the footage, a kind of gritty realism that highlights the struggle of these bears in the face of human encroachment. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain charm in its simplicity. If you're into nature docs with a focus on conservation, this one definitely stands out.
