 documentary exploring the California Grizzly Bear's unfortunate fate with 
 Manifest Destiny. By exploring the historical treatment of the bear, our 
 own subsequent landscape of the future is revealed.  This film is a visual 
 essay using the landscape of California with archival photographs, and 
 paintings and film footage from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It's 
 estimated that 10,000 grizzly bears once roamed the Golden State. But in 
 just 30 short years, the California Grizzly was on the brink of extinction, 
 and in 1908, the last wild grizzly was recorded to have been shot.  The 
 call of Manifest Destiny for westward expansion sealed the great Grizzly 
 Bear's fate… and with it, an eternal mythologizing of its past.  
 Historical figures like Grizzly Adams and William Randolph Hearst directly 
 shaped our views of the grizzly bear, and so did the “inevitable” 
 expansion of the United States.  Monarch, a grizzly bear captured by 
 Hearst, sat in captivity for 22 years.  Shortly after Monarch’s demise as 
 the last known living grizzly in California, Ishi, the last member of the 
 Yahi tribe, was discovered in Oroville.  The destiny of both intersected in 
 Golden Gate Park, where their own extinction was witnessed and recorded… 
 foreshadowing modern humanity’s future collision course with his 
 manufactured landscape.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  
 28th  Street\n\n$5 donations are accepted\n\n\n\n
