Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, The Shepherd and the Bear explores a conflict provoked by the reintroduction of brown bears in the midst of a traditional shepherding community. The film follows 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. With breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, this is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.
