THE LOST WOLVES OF YELLOWSTONE
A captivating film from Yellowstone National Park, where a group of biologists led by a charismatic woman set out to bring back the wolves – a project that changed their own lives forever.
The wolf holds a special place in the animal kingdom. The proud and feared predator is almost a mythological creature in the story of humanity’s own history. So when the decision was made in 1995 to reintroduce the wolf to the vast Yellowstone National Park, it was not without opposition.
Leading the project was charismatic biologist Mollie Beattie, who, along with her colorful and sympathetic team of colleagues, was charged with bringing wolves back at a time when they had been extinct for 50 years. But not everyone was thrilled with the idea that wolves would soon be allowed to roam free again. The project became a political battle that required all of Beattie’s skills as a biologist, diplomat and storyteller.
The documentary ‘Lost Wolves of Yellowstone’ unfolds this magnificent story as an epic drama with a twinkle in the eye – not least from Beattie’s idealistic and charming colleagues, who experience the amazing and beautiful footage from back then for the first time. This event is in collaboration with the Rocky Mountains Wolf Project.
