Return of the Wolves: The Next Chapter

It’s been nearly 20 years since wolves were reintroduced into Yellowstone National Park and parts of Idaho, and placed on the endangered species list. At the time, advocates said wolves were a vital link in the natural ecosystem. Returning the park’s premier natural predator would help control Yellowstone’s surplus elk and bison population.  Worried about the effect of wolves on their livelihoods, ranchers and hunters protested the reintroduction, some even filing lawsuits. The discussion became heated to the point of threatened violence. This documentary explores both sides of the heated issue and examines the role of the wolf in Yellowstone, the West and the Southwest.
