Charlie Vandergaw lives alone in the Alaskan wilderness with one of the world’s most dangerous carnivores, the bear. For more than twenty years he’s been trying to habituate man and both black and grizzly bear, to prove that we can live alongside each other in harmony. But he still knows he could be killed at any time. Featuring some of the most intimate footage of wild bears ever seen, this remarkable film follows Charlie in his controversial and high-risk approach, as he attempts to forge relationships of unparalleled closeness and understanding with these formidable beasts, and asks whether such a line should be crossed.
