Among Wolves
Green Screens: Cinema Planeta
June 1 - 3, 2012
Based on a true story, a boy is sold by his impoverished family to work with a goat herder in the mountains of Cordoba. When the goat herder dies, 7-year-old Marcos is left to raise himself.
Among Wolves is based on the true story of “the wild child of the Sierra Morena,” a child who lived alone from ages 7 to 20 in the mountains of Cordoba. In a time of great poverty following the Spanish Civil War, Marcos is sold to a wealthy landowner to work with his goat herder. Shortly afterwards, the goat herder dies leaving the boy to raise himself. Befriending wolves and keenly observing the other animals around him become the key to his survival. Beautifully shot nature footage adds the inspirational story of a boy’s amazing adventures in the wild as he grows into a man. Ages 10+, with some graphic nature scenes.
