Grizzly Man Diaries

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this here before, but one of my and Mrs Titan's favorite documentaries is Grizzly Man, the Werner Herzog film about crazy Timothy Treadwell, the naturalist who spend every summer for 13 years alone in the Alaska wilderness with tons and tons of grizzly bears. It is a great movie that makes you both depressed and a little weirded out.

Well, recently, Animal Planet decided to take it a little further. They put together a show called The Grizzly Man Diaries, which combines a massive amount of Treadwell's video footage and still photos along with excerpts from his own diaries. The focus though is on the wilderness, not Treadwell himself. What he saw and experienced there was amazing and it is great to see what Treadwell was really trying to do out there. The show is really amazing to watch. It has some of the best nature footage I have seen with a really interesting narrator to back it all up.

Here's the Grizzly Man movie trailer.




Here is a link to the offical Animal Planet website with the great music from the show. It fits perfectly with the story. You should really check this show out. Or at least the movie!
