What time will The 100 season 3 be on Netflix? by Patrick Schmidt

Grizzly Man directed by Werner Herzog returned to Netflix and our ranking of the 50 Best Documentaries on Netflix!

Grizzly Man recently returned to Netflix, and we had to add the documentary back to our ranking of the 50 Best Documentaries on Netflix!

Grizzly Man was directed by Werner Herzog and released in 2005. The film focuses on Timothy Treadwell, a man who traveled to Alaska for 13 years and lived with the grizzly bears. Treadwell compiled hundreds of hours of raw footage of his interaction with the grizzlies and other animals in the park.

Treadwell and his girlfriend were killed by a bear at the end of the summer of 2003. In a way, the documentary is almost a tribute to him and his way of life.

The film explores Treadwell’s 13 years living among the bears and animals in the Katmai National Park in Alaska. Herzog edited together the raw footage and also did his own field interviews with those who knew Treadwell and experts to give insight on the topic.

Grizzly Man was not nominated for an Oscar, but it did win several major documentary awards on the festival circuit.

We shared the trailer for the film below! You should definitely watch the trailer if you haven’t seen the movie. The footage is unbelievable.

There are several more of Herzog’s movies ranked in the 50 Best Docs on Netflix! Into the Inferno, Herzog’s most recent film and the Netflix original documentary, is also included in the ranking!
