Save the Yellowstone Road Show Livingston, Montana
The 28-minute documentary is an unflinching inquiry into the relationship between climate change and grizzly bears. The film is narrated by one of America’s most beloved actors and storytellers, Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges. It is scored by pianist Bill Payne of Little Feat.
In recent years, the catastrophic effects of climate change have become more and more clear, and grizzly bears are facing the brunt of those challenges, between food and habitat loss. The film, which features conversations with celebrated authors such as Terry Tempest Williams, Doug Peacock and Rick Bass, is both a dire warning and a compelling call to action to advocating for habitat protection, connectivity, tolerance, and highway wildlife crossings.
“The greatest threat to grizzlies in this Yellowstone Ecosystem is climate change. Climate change is the beast of our time.” said Doug Peacock, author, grizzly bear expert, and founder of Save the Yellowstone Grizzly
The film, directed by Maaike Middleton, visits with ranchers who have learned to co-exist with bears. It includes predictions from leading scientists about the impacts of climate change, and relates Indigenous wisdom on living with grizzlies. Finally, it offers solutions, and a vision for the grizzly’s future.
The Beast of Our Time was created and produced by Save the Yellowstone Grizzly and sponsored by Patagonia and the Sierra Club. Executive producers are Doug Peacock and Dan Sullivan. The film is scored by pianist Bill Payne, of Little Feat.
The Beast of Our Time offers solutions and a vision for the grizzly, and a way for YOU to get involved. Join these people and others on a journey into the heart of the American West, and the last remnants of a once-great nation of grizzly bears.
