Killing a Bear

Co-produced by ARTE and inspired by true events, Killing a Bear brings to life the investigation into the mysterious murder of the bear Cachou during the pandemic lockdown, blending emotion, suspense and real human conflict.

What begins as an unusual criminal case, the death of an animal treated as human murder, unravels deep tensions within the Aran Valley, where locals, environmental activists, and European policies collide. As suspicion spreads through the community, the valley becomes the frontline of a larger clash between ancestral identity and global pressures.
