Description

Set against the storybook landscape of the French Pyrenees, SHOOT THE BEAR follows the family dramas and political conflict that surface after the reintroduction of wild bears in one of the last pockets of pastoralism in modern Europe. Two opposing movements—pro-bear environmental police and anti-bear shepherds—fight for power and for the future, threatening the fragile fabric of the community.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
