The life and death of amateur grizzly bear expert and wildlife preservationist Timothy Treadwell. Treadwell 
lived unarmed among the bears for thirteen summers, and filmed his adventures in the wild during his final 
five seasons. In October 2003, Treadwell's remains, along with those of his girlfriend, Amie Huguenard, were 
discovered near their campsite in Alaska's Katmai National Park and Reserve. They had been mauled and devoured 
by a grizzly, the first known victims of a bear attack in the park. (The bear suspected of the killings was 
later shot by park officials.) Founder of the organization Grizzly People, Treadwell devoted his life to the 
preservation of bears, co-authored a book with Jewel Palovak, "Among Grizzlies," and educated thousands of 
schoolchildren about bears. Treadwell also used his charisma and growing celebrity to spread the grizzly gospel, 
appearing on television shows including "The Late Show with David Letterman," downplaying the dangers of his 
encounters. But was Timothy Treadwell a passionate and fearless environmentalist who devoted his life to living 
peacefully among Alaskan grizzly bears in order to save them? Or was he a deluded misanthrope whose reckless 
actions resulted in his own death, as well as those of his girlfriend and one of the bears he swore to protect?

live among the grizzly bears, with the pretext of studying and protecting them. In 2003, his girlfriend
