Living With Wolves"

This is one documentary that will likely never garner a Cannes Film Festival award. But that is not its intent.

Its makers seek to save lives, restore peace of mind and reintroduce sanity to places like Reserve, New Mexico, the Upper Peninsula ("U.P.") of Michigan and the vast sterilized landscape of Yellowstone National Park, and its surrounding rangelands, ranches and towns.

The argument that people are "encroaching" on wolf habitat doesn't fly. Wolves are being captive bred, habituated to people and then loosed upon areas where it's arguable their ancestors ever lived in the first place.

The evidence of what is happening in parts of rural America targeted for wolf "reintroduction" and "recovery" is etched in the pinched, drawn and stressed faces of those good folks who consented to be interviewed by filmmaker Bruce Hemming. Hemming simply could not stand idly by while rural children faced the fangs and inexorable, relentless threat from wolves -- wolves that the juggernaut of federal agents and their partners are literally delivering almost to people's doorsteps. Documenting such events has been a grueling and exhausting process, but one that must get and keep your attention.

Your children or those of your friends could be the next ones facing this "future."

Schoolchildren are being watched and followed to their bus stops. They are being watched while they play on rural playgrounds. Shelters are being built for them to be safe from wolves. They and their parents and teachers are suffering post-traumatic stress disorder as they watch their livestock, horses and pets, plus ungulate wildlife, disemboweled and left to suffer horrible death from wolves sport killing. Is this what you think rural living should be?
