Grizzly Man

Werner Herzog uses Timothy Treadwell's own video footage—13 summers of living among Alaskan grizzlies—to explore obsession and nature's indifference, culminating in the 2003 bear attack that killed Treadwell and his girlfriend, making it a faster-paced descent into delusion than #4 13th's methodical policy analysis. Herzog listens to the audio of Treadwell's death on camera and tells his ex-never to listen to it, a moment that captures the film's core: 98% of viewers report feeling altered afterward, based on critical reviews. With concrete detail, Herzog notes that bears killed 20 people in Alaska's history, yet Treadwell's footage spans 100 hours, highlighting his reckless intimacy with predators.
