The Shepherd and the Bear (Le Berger et l’ours) (FFFUK)

Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, this documentary 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. Through its breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, this modern folktale tells of tradition, community and humanity's relationship with a vanishing natural world. UK filmmaker Max Keegan moved to France for three years to make the film.DocumentaryPT1H41MTBC2025-11-26
