When I woke up in the morning on new year's day, this documentary was on TV that I didn't turned off at night. This film is one of the best of discovery channel series, and also released at some film festivals. It's about a man attracked by grizzly bear in Alaska. Timothy Treadwell, aka Grizzly man loved bears with all his heart, lived for them, and was killed by them. He wanted to die for them and he knew that he would die.

"I will protect these bears with my last breath." It is said that his watch is still ticking was found on his severed arm. I became to have a certain admiration for his courage, and recklessnes.

This documentary reminds me of the film Into the Wild (http://www.intothewild.com/) It's a sad but true story of a young man who gives up everything to live on his own in Alaska. like the grizzly man, it is the thing he seeks that eventually takes his life...
