Wolves in Paradise (56 min, USA)
In the decade after the top predator was restored to Yellowstone National Park, ranchers and wildlife experts have struggled to keep the wolves from killing cattle and sheep without violating the Endangered Species Act. Wolves in Paradise tells the inside story of wolf reintroduction from all points of view, from livestock growers to park biologists to conservationists to politicians, and weighs its impact on both the ecology of the region and the lives of its residents. An alliance is growing between conservationists, government agencies and ranchers who seek creative solutions to allow wolves, livestock and ranchers to coexist in the soaring mountains and majestic valleys of southwest Montana. (William Campbell, 2007)
Fish and Cow (17 min, USA)
The Big Hole Valley lies in the southwest corner of Montana. High, cold, and remote, it is home to one of the last surviving populations of a unique and sensitive species of fish, the fluvial Arctic grayling. This film is a story about a group of dedicated ranchers and biologists finding common ground, not only to try and save this fish, but also to try and preserve the ecological health of the Big Hole Valley itself. (Geoff Stephens and Rick Smith, 2007)
