#23 All About Bears with Author & Filmmaker Rémy Marion

Our guest in this episode is Rémy Marion -- author, photographer, and documentary filmmaker. Rémy is a member of France’s national society of geographers and explorers, and an authority on bears. In particular, brown bears and polar bears, which he has been observing in the wild since the 1980s.

His book, “On Being a Bear: Face to Face with Our Wild Sibling”, was recently translated into English and is set for release in the U.S. at the end of March 2021.The book delves into humanity’s two million-year-old love/hate relationship with bears, covers all the latest science on these fascinating creatures, and includes accounts of Remy’s up-close and personal encounters with bears...perhaps a little too up-close and personal.  If you love bears, you’ll love his book.
