Cast: Jane Goodall, Rev. Patrick McCollum, Chief Phil Lane. 1h 27m. NR.

Moderated by Chamois Anderson, Defenders of Wildlife's Senior Field Representative, you'll learn about champions of Bison Restoration and efforts to return buffalo to the ancestral Native lands, from Montana and across the international border to Canada.
"It’s improbable that you’ll even see a documentary so weirdly fervent. The absurd nature of the film is evident, but what lies underneath is almost magic." - Patrick McDonald, Hollywood Chicago
