Bozeman Film Society proudly presents the Montana premiere of MOLLIE’S PACK, the new documentary by Grizzly Creek Films—nearly 30 years to the day of the wolves return to Yellowstone. Joining us will be Wolf Biologists Doug Smith and Mike Phillips, Editor Avela Grenier, plus EMMY® award-winning filmmaker, Founder of Grizzly Creek Films, and MOLLIE’S PACK Director/Producer Thomas Winston.

​

On January 12, 1995, wolves returned to Yellowstone, 50 years after their extirpation. Mollie Beattie, director of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, carried the first Canadian-born wolf into The Park’s experimental acclimation enclosure, Alpha Female Wolf No. 5. From that day forward, their lives would be forever connected. This is the true story of Mollie’s Pack.

​

Mollie’s Pack is a gripping feature documentary told with primary 16mm film footage that was thought to be forever lost, alongside in-depth interviews with the key players at the center of the historic Yellowstone Wolf reintroduction. The narrative follows the interconnected stories of Mollie Beattie and Wolf No.5 — the alpha female of the Mollie’s Pack. It’s a modern American epic that has never been told—and Grizzly Creek Films has exclusive access to the people and the footage to bring it to life on screen.
