People congregate to take pictures and videos, and the bear begins to clash with the locals. That is when the bear\u2019s journey takes a dramatic turn, and \u201cnuisance bear\u201d removal forces enter the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nuisancebear.b.jpg?resize=300%2C128&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nuisancebear.b.jpg?resize=300%2C128&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nuisancebear.b.jpg?resize=1024%2C436&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nuisancebear.b.jpg?resize=768%2C327&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/nuisancebear.b.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Nuisance Bear<\/em> is a documentarian\u2019s documentary. With no voiceover or speaking at all, the New Yorker team behind the film lets the images and captured video do the talking. And it\u2019s supremely effective. I especially love the way the wildlife forces\u2019 pickup truck is shot like it&#8217;s the predator, not the bear; it approaches menacingly with high beams on and then veers to the side as the bear makes its escape. It\u2019s absolutely scintillating. In many scenes, there isn\u2019t even any background music, so all you hear is the soft stepping of the bear and the rumbling engines of the wildlife forces. Hat\u2019s off to directors Jack Weisman and Gabriela Osio Vanden for creating such a masterful piece of visual storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nuisance Bear<\/em> promotes respecting nature and ensuring you don\u2019t disrupt other beings endemic to your area. The film helps us realize that people are the real nuisance, not the bears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>Nuisance Bear<\/em> 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18 plus adults. The film is available to watch on the New Yorker YouTube channel now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kUdvgsgwvDY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nuisance Bear is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Jack Weisman and Gabriela Osio Vanden and released in 2021.
