School. Remember that? When life was all crayons and small glass bottles of milk and the winters were colder and summers dragged out for years..... aaaaaah.

The interplay between the two women is the real draw here, punctuated by performances for the benefit of the film makers, rich in quotable insights. It's appeal is such that it has spawned a hit broadway show as wel find out more...

Timothy Treadwell was quite a guy, a self appointed crusader and protector for the grizzly bears of Alaska, his commitment over thirteen summers was without doubt, though his motives and methods were perhaps more confused.
