520    "Award-winning Yellowstone photographer and documentary 
       filmmaker Brad Orsted's seven-year search for refuge and 
       redemption in America's greatest wilderness. When Brad 
       Orsted's fifteen-month-old daughter, Marley, died 
       mysteriously at the home of Brad's mother, he descended 
       into madness. Blaming himself, he plunged into an abyss of
       grief, guilt, and self-recrimination, fueled by 
       prescription drugs and alcohol. He planned his suicide as 
       his wife, Stacey, searched for a new beginning. She 
       finally found a job in Yellowstone National Park and, with
       their daughters, Mazzy and Chloe, the pair fled Michigan, 
       looking for refuge and redemption in the 2.2 million acres
       of glorious American wilderness. Through the Wilderness 
       begins in Yellowstone, five months after the family's 
       arrival in 2012, when, in an alcoholic haze, Brad stumbled
       into a field of sage and survived a face-to-face encounter
       with an adult male grizzly bear. For the first time in 
       almost two years, he realized he wanted to live-he just 
       didn't know how. Desperate for help, Brad invited himself 
       to a Crow sweat lodge ceremony, where an elder told him it
       was time to stop grieving. The elder's words started Brad 
       on a journey towards sobriety and inner peace, only 
       possible because of lessons he learned in the wild, his 
       new job as a wildlife photographer and filmmaker, and two 
       orphan grizzly cubs who carried him back home and taught 
       him how to live again. Brad's ten-year odyssey is about 
       finding the wild inside the human heart. It is a journey 
       of the spirit- a journey to forgiveness and sobriety, to 
       love and life, to memory, and ultimately, to Marley"--
