Set high in the majestic French Pyrenees, The Shepherd & The Bear is a visually stunning and deeply moving story about tradition, change, and our relationship with the wild.

When brown bears are reintroduced into a remote mountain region, tensions rise within a traditional shepherding community. The film follows an ageing shepherd struggling to find someone to carry on his life’s work as bears prey on his flock — and a teenage boy who becomes captivated by tracking the bears through the mountains.

Through breathtaking cinematography and immersive storytelling, The Shepherd & The Bear unfolds like a modern folktale — exploring generational change, community identity, and humanity’s fragile relationship with a vanishing natural world.

🌿 A powerful story about coexistence and conflict
🐻 A timely exploration of rewilding and rural livelihoods
🎥 Stunning landscapes of the French Pyrenees on the big screen
