DVD Reviews of Living With the Wolfman, Season 1
DVD Review: Be the Wolf
Summary: 4 Stars
I just finished reading Shaun Ellis' The Man Who Lives with Wolves, so it was nice to watch this documentary and actually see these wolves. Ellis seems to have great insight into wolves. He emphasizes the importance of pack hierarchy and "rough play" to the development of wolves. It think it's important to be clear - Ellis doesn't think the wolves are tricked into thinking he's a wolf. Rather, he is trying to mimic the behavior of wolves to 1) understand their psychology better, and 2) train orphaned/captive wolves as close as possible to a natural wolf parent in order for eventual reintroduction into the wild (as opposed to letting them become glorified dogs in zoos). As such, Ellis tries to simulate an actual pack lifestyle as close as is possible. The wolves seem to accept him to a remarkable degree and follow his lead.
Some reviewers have compared Shaun Ellis' to Timothy Treadwell of Grizzly Man fame. I'm not sure that comparison hold. Treadwell had certain emotional and psychological problems, as is evident from his rantings in the film Grizzly Man. Ellis displays a pretty cool head and knows what he's doing. He might be nuts to live with wolves, but he's not crazy. Do I wish Shaun Ellis went on to get a Ph.D. and followed scientific methodology in his research? Yes, but that's not my choice to make. In the meantime, he is making interesting observations.
If you liked this documentary, you'll appreciate Shaun Ellis' new book The Man Who Lives with Wolves. He goes into detail about his background and observations on wolf behavior. It's also a lot more nuanced than this documentary.

Description of Living With the Wolfman, Season 1
British wolf expert Shaun Ellis has become famous--or possibly infamous--for his unprecedented experiences embedded in a wolf pack. By studying the behaviors and social structures of these canine creatures, Shaun hopes to promote a greater human understanding of wolves while helping to regrow wolf populations. For years, he has been sleeping, eating and brawling with a pack of captive wolves at Combe Martin Wildlife Park in Devon, England, successfully infiltrating the pack and becoming its peacemaker. At times, it seems that Ellis is just short of becoming a wolf himself, and he might jump at the chance if it weren't for his other true love--Helen Jeffs. Helen is Shaun's fiancée, but when it comes to the wolves, she is still a novice--not yet integrated into this extension of Shaun's family. LIVING WITH THE WOLFMAN follows Shaun and Helen as Shaun attempts to bring his two loves together. What will the family think of Helen? In her journey to become accepted by Shaun's pack, Helen must face her fears and get closer to these wild animals than most people would ever dare.Bestsellers in DVD
