Director Andrew Simpson in Attendance!

The documentary WOLVES UNLEASHED takes you behind the scenes of the film LOUP. World-renowned animal trainer Andrew Simpson and his Canadian crew travel to Siberia, one of the coldest places on earth, to make the biggest wolf film ever attempted. Together with their pack of wolves, they live in a remote camp for five months, dealing with temperatures as low as 50 below Celcius!

The documentary shows that Simpson’s wolves are graceful, caring, affectionate, trusting and capable of expressing different emotions. Intensely engaging, Wolves Unleashed captures the production of the film and shows just how deep the bond is between the trainers and the wolves – a bond that occasionally must be put at risk for the sake of a scene. Striking the balance between the demands of the filmmakers and the very real need for trust between Simpson and his animals is no simple task.

WOLVES UNLEASHED contains raw footage, presented without any special effects enhancement. Who needs cinematic tricks when you have Siberian vistas, inter-species drama and a wolf pack of epic proportions?
