"Part of the Pack” explores the ambiguous love story between humans and wolves. Following three such stories where people have developed a unique relationship to wolves, this compelling and beautifully lensed documentary explores the ethical and behavioural questions around creating intimacy with the wild.

Long feared, the wolves that have survived in places such as Vancouver Island now live in a habitat where humans are advancing. At the same time our fascination for the wolf — as the quintessential symbol of something wild and dangerous — has become stronger. As urban lifestyles have increasingly removed us from nature, some of us want to find that connection again. Encountering a wolf can satisfy our craving for the natural world. Some people have even taken a step further by bringing a wolf or wolf-dog into their homes (literally into their living rooms) as a way to feel closer to the wild. The boundary between wild and domesticated is shifting.
