Film Lens
The film focuses on the migration patterns of wild bison in Montana, particularly when temperatures drop and they move to lower elevations outside Yellowstone National Park. This migration poses a significant risk to the bison, as they may be killed due to concerns from ranchers about brucellosis, a chronic disease that some bison carry and which can spread to cattle.
Through this lens, the film examines the conflict between wildlife conservation and agricultural interests. It presents the challenges faced by bison as they navigate their natural instincts while also contending with human fears and regulations that threaten their survival.
