Film Synopsis
This documentary takes a look at the world's wild places through the eyes of bears.
Ecologist, adventure rider, and TV host Chris Morgan narrates this documentary about bear conservation and the people who have devoted their lives to studying, understanding, and protecting bears and the unique, wild places that they occupy around the world. Morgan and his team travel to Alaska to film the world's largest bears, and to Borneo's tropical rainforest. Other destinations include Mongolia, India, and Peru, where a young biologist studies a unique population of Andean bears that exist in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth.
