Timber wolves and Arctic wolves are the subject here, filmed by Bill Mason across three years in the Northwest Territories, British Columbia, and the High Arctic, with additional footage shot near his home in Quebec's Gatineau Hills. Mason built the film to push back against the wolf-as-killer myth that dominated nature programming at the time, and he goes further than most wildlife filmmakers by bringing three young wolves onto his own property, where he can film behavior a camera crew would never catch in the wild: pack hierarchy, mating, and the birth of pups. The result mixes footage shot at a remove in genuine wolf territory with these close, almost domestic scenes at Mason's home, giving the film two very different vantage points on the same animal. There is no narrator-driven argument beyond what the footage itself demonstrates; the wolves hunt, rest, play, and raise young much like any social predator, and the film lets that ordinariness do the work of dismantling the reputation.
