Since their eradication in 1930, the reintroduction of wolves into Washington State has been fraught with controversy among cattle farmers, conservationists, and local communities. For her feature-length directorial debut, Seattle-based Sarah Hoffman follows range rider Daniel Curry, whose mission is to protect the harmony between cattle ranchers and the reintroduction of wolves into the Pacific Northwest after their near-eradication from the region. Hoffman's film follows the conflict among rural farmworkers, wildlife conservationists, and the bureaucratic influence on ecological policy. Curry delicately fights for the safe reintroduction of wolves into the state in meetings marked by the class divide in Washington State, outfitted in "Stetson hats and Patagonia jackets." Curry's connection to the wolf and the land act as an antidote to anthropocentric cynicism. The perseverance of the American wolf fosters, as both predator and persecuted, open possibilities for more balanced ecological policies.
