    “Grizzly Man” follows the life of wild life enthusiast Timothy Treadwell from birth to death. The documentary has many good clips that Timothy recorded while he lived with the bears.

The film also goes as far to help the audience understand why Timothy became the person that everyone knows him as. The director

Timothy Treadwell, a bear enthusiast, is an interesting environmentalist; however, he lacks knowledge of the natural world around him. His inadequacy of understanding undomesticated animals living in the wild is what causes Treadwell to face a plethora of problems throughout his journey.
