ABOUT
The Ultimate Fight For Survival
On January 12, 1995 wolves returned to Yellowstone, 50 years after their extirpation. Mollie Beattie, director of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, carried the first Canadian born wolf into The Park’s experimental acclimation enclosure, Alpha Female Wolf No. 5. From that day forward, their lives would be forever connected. This is the true story of Mollie’s Pack and the Lost Wolves of Yellowstone.
RATING: G – General Audiences
RUNTIME: Approx. 45 minutes.
OVERVIEW
Lost Wolves of Yellowstone unearths one of the most daring wildlife experiments in American history—the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park after a 50-year absence. Told through long-lost 16mm archival footage, the film captures the tense early days of the project as a small group of Canadian wolves, held in acclimation pens, prepared to reclaim a wilderness that had nearly forgotten them. As biologists fought legal battles and public outrage outside the park gates, the wolves faced their own fight for survival within. What unfolds is a visceral, real-time portrait of ecological rebirth, political resistance, and the untamed spirit of nature given one final chance to return home.
