The Man Who Spoke to Wolves | GEDEON DOC
#wolves #wernerfreund #wildlife
For 25 years, Werner Freund has lived with and “spoken” to wolves. Five packs, totaling twenty-five wolves from Canada, the Arctic, and Central Europe, roam freely within a protected forest of fir trees. His love and passion for these wild animals have led him to become one of them.
Recently, Werner set out for Central Asia, in Kyrgyzstan. There, alongside Yolt, his friend and a shepherd and breeder of horses and yaks, he attempts to track wolves in their natural environment. Werner has set himself a challenge: to approach a wild pack using his unique knowledge as a “wolf-man.”
