In the midst of what many scientists describe as the sixth mass extinction, the return of the wolf should be considered a success story. However, not everyone agrees. In the Alps, where this predator had disappeared for almost a century, its presence has led to conflict between those who see coexistence as a crucial development in our relationship with the environment, and those who perceive it as a threat to their lifestyle and their traditions.

Awards

Premio RAI Trento
Ed. 2024
With original images and interviews, the documentary recounts environmental and sociological matters linked to the reappearance of wolves in the Alps, after they had disappeared for almost a century. Not everyone is happy, especially among those living and working in the mountains. The story is recounted with a simple and immediate language, to describe a fascinating animal and its precarious coexistence with man in an increasingly domesticated landscape where livestock graze. The events are organised into chapters, concluding with the hope that the right balance will be found between man and one of his great antagonists.
