Fresh off winning the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary Feature
at the Sundance Film Festival, Nuisance Bear offers a striking look
at survival in a rapidly changing Arctic.
A polar bear is forced to navigate a human-dominated world of tourists,
wildlife officers, and hunters as its ancient migration routes collide with
modern life. When a sacred predator is labeled a nuisance, the question
of who truly belongs in this shared landscape comes sharply into focus.
As the bears are monitored, photographed, and redirected, moments
of tension and quiet defiance emerge, revealing both their resilience
and the fragility of the systems meant to control them.
Nuisance Bear challenges viewers to reconsider wildlife as spectacle—
and to confront our own place within the natural world.
