Project Grizzly

Bear trainer Jeff Watson embarks on a mission to teach his captive, 700-pound grizzly bears, Bob and Screech, how to survive in the deep wild.

Jeff releases his bears, Bob and Screech into the habitat where he begins his lifelong dream of re-wilding them. However the first lesson, fishing, proves more difficult than Jeff imagined and Bob appears to be falling behind Screech.

Jeff teaches the bears to forage in the wild, but Bob's foot is still a concern. When the bear slashes Jeff in the arm he refuses medical care. After he loses the bears, Jeff is forced to think about the difficulty of them actually leaving the nest.

Jeff's unconventional hunting lessons fail to prepare Bob and Screech to hunt game in the wild, but he discovers they may be learning on their own. Meanwhile he reminisces about Grizzly Adams and agonizes over eventually parting ways with his bears.

Jeff is pleased with Bob and Screech learning how to feed themselves. Now he teaches them how to den up for the winter. The grizzlies get territorial when Jeff's friend steps inside their habitat.

As Jeff's rewilding journey with Bob and Screech nears the end, he has one painful lesson left to teach, how to fear man. Their release date is imminent but will Bob and Screech be ready to survive on their own?
