TRENTO. The death of Andrea Papi a year ago he turned the spotlight on the international media on the issue of bears in Trentino. Now the director from Bolzano Andreas Pichler analyzes in a documentary the difficult coexistence of man with the plantigrade. From the 2 maggio the film is available in German on Sky Germany with the title “Dangerously close – when bears kill” (Dangerously Close, when bears kill, ed.), while this summer it will arrive in Italy on the big screen and then in autumn on Rai3.
Pichler retraces the stages of the repopulation project Life Ursus and visit the Trentino valleys. Residents and animal rights activists, as well as foresters and experts, intervene. Director also interviews Andrea Papi’s parents.
Don’t miss a look at Bavaria, where the debate flared up last year after the first slaughters of farm animals. The documentary asks the question: Who does nature belong to, man or animals? For three years Pichler has been dealing with the issue of Trentino bears, often accompanying foresters into the woods. In fact, he began his work long before the Caldes tragedy, giving voice to those who support the presence of bears and those who would like to limit their number.
