Why We're Psyched: Famed director Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo) recounts the rise and fall of Timothy Treadwell, the bear activist who, with girlfriend Amie Huguenard, was killed by an Alaskan grizzly in 2003. The documentary offers Treadwell's own footage spliced with interviews of his loved ones. This one could stay with us for a while.
