Grizzly

Susan Sarandon narrates this engaging documentary following two grizzly bears in Yellowstone National Park as they go about their daily business of surviving in a dangerous environment. Today, the park is home to nearly six hundred grizzlies. Mary is an adult female facing the daunting task of raising her offspring in a landscape where nearly half of all cubs die before they reach adulthood. Her biggest challenge is finding food for her two cubs, hunting and scavenging across a wide area while staying clear of the many threats from other animals.

Out in the wilds, an aged man tells his grandchildren a tale of his own youth. After his mother dies, his usually-absent father, whom he barely knows, takes him into these same wilds to hunt for a grizzly. They find a mother bear with two cubs. The hunters capture the cubs, but the grizzly captures the lad. Somehow, boy and bear bond and trek across the forest with dad and an Indian friend on their trail. After a while, the boy figures out where he and his new mother are going: toward her cubs. Rifles, dogs, hunters, bear, cubs, father, and son are headed for a rendezvous.

We document the two apex predators of Yellowstone - the grizzly and wolf as they once again meet head-to-head, vying to emerge on top. Grizzlies once reigned unchallenged as the top predators of Yellowstone, but everything changed when an old rival returned to the landscape. After almost a century without them, wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone and again play a vital role in the ecosystem that depends upon them. Once the sole rulers of this vast kingdom, grizzly bears are now re-learning how to cope with the rise of an equal competitor.

Grizzly was made together with Edward "Cyan" Blake.

Grizzly Bear release their highly anticipated fifth full-length album "Painted Ruins" following up their 2012 commercial breakthrough "Shields." The band spent the better part of two years writing and recording the eleven new compositions featured on "Painted Ruins" with the entire album produced by Grizzly Bear's own, Chris Taylor.
