Never Cry Wolf (1983)

This is the second film directed by the great Carroll Ballard. Like his first film, "The Black Stallion" (1979), it also deals with themes of isolation and human/animal relationships. Utilizing stunning cinematography and music, this is a grand adventure in the far north. Based on Farley Mowat's semi-autobiography of the same name, it tells about a man sent to uncover the reason behind the decline of caribou herds.

This is my favorite film of all time.

Best quote from the film, by far. If there's a reason for this film to exist, that is it. Those words changed my life.

Having lived so long like this it's an ache to be here... not there. I don't know how I can survive much longer stuck away from Alaska.

It also shows that the wolves are NOT the reason the caribou population is decreasing

Farley Mowatt was a biologist and writer who also wrote ' A Whale for the Killing " .. This is an amazing journey described by someone who loves learning ...and wasn't there to harm any life, just tp document..
