Never Cry Wolf

“They thought he couldn't do the job. That's why they chose him.”

Tyler (Charles Martin Smith), a government biologist, wants proof that wolves are killing off the caribou herds of the far north. He is dropped into the wilderness alone for six months, where he meets an Inuit hunter, Ootek (Zachary Ittimangnaq). Carroll Ballard films the tundra in wide, quiet stretches and keeps the camera at the animals' level.
