Free screening: "In the Valley of the Wolves"

The Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival presents a free world premiere screening of “In the Valley of the Wolves” at 7 and 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 5, in the theater of the Center for the Arts in Jackson.

Here’s a description from the Center for the Arts web site:

As the first wolves reintroduced into Yellowstone, the Druids are the most celebrated wolf pack in North America. New pioneers in the wilderness, they were at the heart of a massive scientific experiment to restore an entire ecosystem which began to break down without its wolves. Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Bob Landis spent over three years with these remarkable wolves, creating a spectacularly dramatic and intimate record of their lives, their great battles with rival wolf packs, and the changing fortunes of the coyotes and foxes who share their home range in Yellowstone's beautiful Lamar Valley. Filmmaker Q/A will follow the screening.
