La Gueule du loup (2016)
Directed by Jérôme Ségur

Film Synopsis

The return of the wolf to the south of France has resulted in a fierce debate between farmers concerned for their livestock and ecologists keen to protect wild life.  In his film, Jérôme Ségur allows both sides of the argument to have their say, often with some heat and no shortage of feeling.  For some the wolf symbolises nature at its most untamed and beguiling.  For others it is merely vermin that destroys livelihoods and spreads disease.  It is certainly true that the return of the wolf is bad news for some farmers, who are already on the breadline.  But there are also compelling arguments from those who are keen to see the wolf accorded some form of protected status.  Is it possible that a compromise situation can be arrived at that will satisfy both the farmers and the ecologists?  Or must we choose between the wolf and the sheep, accepting as we do so that there can be no place for wildness in the world we are fashioning for ourselves...?
