This bear captured the imagination,attention and hearts of kids and grown-ups, from backyards to newscasts, twitter to television, tourists to law enforcement, all hoping to catch a glimpse or even capture the elusive bear himself. The doc features insights from a wildlife biologist, veterinarian, zoo curator, park rangers, a Cape Cod writer, a Province town entrepreneur, a cub rescuer in Maine and a bear hunter in New Hampshire. The film asks-if bears are people with fur, who should adapt to whom and how?
