Before seeing Mofilms' brilliant new movie Return To The Wild: A Modern Tale of Wolf and Man, I must say that I was not fully on top of wolf current events. I am now. What happens when you re-introduce gray wolves into the Northern Rockies for the first time? Excitement, friction, love, hate, compassion, conspiracy.
This balanced masterpiece of a film does an excellent job showing both sides and the vast open space of compromises available in a fast-moving 27 minutes. In one memorable scene, a rancher says in a thick accent with a twinkle in his eye, "If the wolves are now bringing in $35 million in eco-tourism revenue per year, then why now kick back a small percentage of that into wolf management?" It is hard to argue with such logic.
You can currently watch or download the Return To The Wild film on Mofilms complimentary. If you like the film, please consider supporting these passionate, dedicated and talented filmmakers.
