Last of the Wild
Documentary Film, AT 2024, DCP, 91 min, OmdU, OmeUThe field of tension between “nature” and “civilization” is the arena in which a German predator trainer, a Ukrainian game warden, and a Mexican activist develop their life plans and resolve their conflicts. Bernadette Weigel’s documentary essay poses questions about the “wild”: about what we understand it to be, what we project this idea onto, and where it might still be lurking within us. A visually poetic journey into the untamable and untamed of human and nature.
