In this extraordinary and moving documentary, Canadian bear expert Charlie Russell rescues two orphaned bear cubs destined for death in a squalid Russian zoo and moves them to his home in the remote wilds of the South Kamchatka peninsula, in the former Soviet Union. But when it comes time to release the orphaned cubs back into the wild, both the bears, and Charlie, face a litany of dangers.
