Facing the Storm: Story of the American Bison (2010)
An epic account of our tempestuous relationship with the iconic symbol of wild America.

The film also recounts the harrowing near-destruction of the species in the late nineteenth century - from an estimated 30 million bison to a mere 23 individuals by 1885. It explores the epic vision - and monumental obstacles - to restore bison to immense tracts of the Great Plains.
