The Shepherd and the Bear

Newly Added • 1h 41m

Directed by Max Keegan • 2024 • United States

Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, THE SHEPHERD AND THE BEAR explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears into a traditional shepherding community. Told through the eyes of an aging shepherd who struggles to find a successor as bears prey on his flock and a teenage boy who becomes obsessed with tracking the bears, this immersive, breathtakingly filmed documentary weaves a mesmerizing modern folktale about tradition, community, and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.
