Product Description In northwestern Ontario, lies the little town of Emo. Michael Scheibler and his wife, Betty, bought 320 acres of land here. Little did they know there was something unusual about this place. Animals started appearing, finding sanctuary here. Deer, raccoons, a wolf and then... out of the wild they came. Bears! Soon, Michael and the bears would develop a mutual trust in each other and he began to do the remarkable... maybe unthinkable. He began to feed the bears... by hand. But this story is not what you expect... Bruised by tragedy Michael's soul would plunged into a darkness that stole his humanity and clawed away at this dreams. But through this unexpected encounter with the bears, Michael would see a light that would lead him on a path to love and redemption. Experience a rare film that will take you on a unpredictable journey... and a surprise encounter with the power of redemption. A heart-warming story of how wild animals taught one broken man to be human... again. Review At first blush, The Gentle Bear Man Of Emo appears to be merely a film for kids about animals. But in a surprise twist, it delves into deep issues like suicide, abandonment, loss, hope and religious devotion. It's a welcome surprise that will have you pondering the important issues of life. --Mark Joseph, The Huffington PostMichaels personal journey is beautifully told alongside the daily workings of the sanctuary, the visitors who come to feed the bears, and the comical, often moving stories of animals Michael and Betty have helped. The power of redemption and connection to the past is a theme woven into the entire documentary. --Anna Tullis, Movie Guide P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Director As the founder of the production company Reel Productions, LLC in 1988 and the Inc.5000 nominated international distribution company Exploration Films, Steve Greisen continues to blaze new trails.
