Meet
Troy James Hurtubise, a self-styled
"close-quarter bear researcher,"
who's obsessed with going face-to-face
with Canada's most deadly land mammal,
the grizzly bear.
Troy is the creator of what he hopes
is a "grizzly-proof" suit
of armour -- an extraordinary fusion
of high-tech materials and homespun
ingenuity -- and of his own hybrid mythology
that is part Hollywood, part Canadian
Shield. His quest takes audiences into
a world both compelling and disturbing,
full of contradiction, humour and fantastical
vision.
Directed by Peter Lynch, Project Grizzly
explores the territory between documentary
and drama, where the dividing line between
fact and imagination is as thin as a
knife edge. In this twisted nature film,
it is man, not bears, who come under
the closest scrutiny.
Robo-Bear in the Rockies... Clint Eastwood
meets Jacques Cousteau... Project Grizzly
is a film about overcoming insurmountable
odds, leaving an imprint, creating your
own legend. |
