Project Grizzly
1997 · Film · documentary · 72 min
Directed by Peter Lynch
Documentary about the lifelong project of Troy Hurtubise, a man who has been obsessed with researching the Canadian grizzly bear up close, ever since surviving an early encounter with such a bear. The film documents Hurtubise's diligent work to improve his homemade "grizzly-proof" suit of armour, his efforts to test its resilience, and his forays into the Rockies to track down the grizzlies he dreams of meeting. The film manages to capture the humor of the project as well as its sincerity.

Heh, funny enough this showed up on reddit r/funny just last week. Here's the reddit comment thread [0]. From that comment thread I learned that there is 90 minute documentary about Troy and this suit titled "Project Grizzly" [1][2]
