Synopsis:

He has a dream, and it has six inch claws. Meet Troy James Hurtubise, a self-styled "close-quarter bear researcher," who's obsessed with going face-to-face with Canada's most deadly land mammal, the grizzly bear. Troy is the creator of what he hopes is a "grizzly-proof" suit of armour -- an extraordinary fusion of high-tech materials and homespun ingenuity -- and of his own hybrid mythology that is part Hollywood, part Canadian shield. His quest takes audiences into a world both compelling and disturbing, full of contradiction, humour and fantastical vision.
Join Troy as he tests his armour and courage, in stunts that are both hair-raising and hilarious. Journey with this modern-day Don Quixote and his band of men, as they travel from the donut shops and biker bars of North Bay to the mythic Rocky Mountains, for a date with destiny. Directed by Peter Lynch and produced by Michael Allder, Project Grizzly explores the territory between documentary and drama, where the dividing line between fact and imagination is as thin as a knife edge. In this twisted nature film, it's man, not bears, who come under the closest scrutiny. Robo-Bear in the Rockies... Clint Eastwood meets Jacques Cousteau... Project Grizzly is a film about overcoming insurmountable odds, leaving an imprint, creating your own legends. So suit up -- and join the quest

Documentary which follows Troy Hurtubise as he attempts to invent a suit which will provide him with the necessary protection to experience a close-encounter confrontation with a grizzly bear, and live to tell the tale.

A documentary follows a Canadian fellow working on his dream: building a suit of armor so he can observe grizzly bears from a close distance.
