“A powerful documentary, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”
— Director Jeff Nichols
Featuring director Barlow Jacobs in person.
With only pack goats and the gear they can carry, four people head into the Montana wilderness on a guided elk hunt. There, over bonfires and under the open sky, each hunter wrestles with what has driven them into the wild. A feat of 16mm filmmaking, this film explores humanity’s place in nature so profoundly that it feels like a journey into the depths of one’s own mortal soul.
