Yanuni:

LandxSea Monthly’s series of Powerful Films about People and Planet returns to Montrose Playhouse this March with The Shepherd and The Bear, which sees an aging shepherd in the Pyrenees struggling to find a successor as bears, being rewilded in the region, prey on his flock.

Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, The Shepherd and the Bear 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, The Shepherd and the Bear is a modern folktale about tradition, community and humanity’s relationship with a vanishing natural world.
