Why make a film about Wisconsin’s gray wolf?
I have listended for over two decades to the many voices of the people concerend about Wisconsin’s wild wolves. Some people want them gone while others don’t want a hair on their heads touched. These voices are extreme and they dominiate the media, social media to be exact. In general most of the public isn’t even aware that we have wolves here in Wisconsin, that is except for those who drive the fight on social media. I want to make a film about the Wisconsin wolf, the people who have been working to support them now that they are back on the landscape, and shed light on contoveries surrounding them. “People & Wolves a Wisconsin Story Mired in Political Intrigued” is a story about wolf recovery, wolf conservation and wolf education. -Rachel Tilseth, Producer & Director
