Maneaters: Bears

"Many experts will attest to the fact that there are few more brutal and horrific ways to expire than getting eaten or mauled to death by a bear. And alarmingly, ursine behavior appears to be growing more vicious from year to year, for mysterious and elusive reasons. The disturbing documentary Man Eaters Bears intercuts dramatic reenactments with real footage; survivors of bear attacks turn up to describe their ordeals in vivid detail, while bear authorities join in to speculate on the factors that are making the animals wilder over time. This collection also includes the documentary programs Stranger Among Bears and Human Prey, that describe the horrifying circumstances that may arise when man and bear cross paths. Throughout, we learn of such cases as a bear who invaded a woman's garden and nearly took her life, a bear that nearly took off a camper's hand, and much more, all of it shocking."
