Operation Wolf Patrol charts eco-activist Rod Coronado's attempt to end wolf hunting in the United States. Over the course of three years, we watch Rod work to redefine his activism in an era– post 9/11, where some have called him an “eco-terrorist.” The film comes to a climax when Coronado's "Wolf Patrol" is met with a tightening of "hunter harassment" laws that prohibit photography on public lands. Now Coronado has to ask himself, is he willing to go back to prison to fight a law that some are calling "unconstitutional"?
Programmer Notes:
An extremely important cautionary tale of the abuse of national land and resources masquerading as "traditional" hunting practices. Rod is a fantastic character and leader. The doc makes you question, how can this go under the radar?
About the Director:
Joe Brown is a filmmaker and educator currently based at the University of Denver. His film work focuses on the natural world, wild animals, and how humans relate to the environment. His documentaries have screened at: The Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, The Wild & Scenic Film Festival, AmDocs, the Birmingham Sidewalk Festival, the Dallas International Film Festival, and many more venues.
