Grizzly Man

Certified Wildlife Biologist Dr. Jason R. Boulanger will join the Cinema for a presentation on human-wildlife conflicts in rural and urban landscapes.

Dr. Boulanger is President and head of research at White Buffalo Inc., a non-profit management and research conservation organization that was established in 1995 and dedicated to the conservation of native species and ecosystems. 

The presentation will be followed by a screening of Werner Herzog’s 2025 documentary Grizzly Man that chronicles the life of bear enthusiast Timothy Treadwell while living among grizzly bears in Alaska.

Pieced together from Timothy Treadwell’s actual video footage, Werner Herzog’s remarkable documentary examines the calling that drove Treadwell to live among a tribe of wild grizzly bears on an Alaskan reserve. A devoted conservationist with a passion for adventure, Timothy believed he had bridged the gap between human and beast. When one of the bears he loved and protected tragically turns on him, the footage he shot serves as a window into our understanding of nature and its grim realities.
