Synopsis: (Animation) Childhood memories from an encounter with a male bear are recounted. We should be cautious with wild animals but as naturalist Barry Lopez states 'a phobic response is less about the beast in the underbrush than it is about the beast within. When we refuse to look inward - when we fix our fear on the head of a coyote or any fellow predator - we miss the opportunity to face up to our own demons. Which is a shame, because in the end it's the only chance we have of facing them down.' Cast: Voice Actor: Anna Chicco
