Wolves were a natural part of our environment until man practically made them extinct. After more than a hundred years, these predators return to the Czech Republic. Can we learn how to live with them in harmony? Wolves are the apex predators that play an essential role in the ecosystem. Thanks to the protection efforts, the population of these beasts of ill repute is growing, and many European countries deal with their return. This documentary shows the collaboration between Czech and German experts who monitor and study them. It also presents ways how to create suitable conditions for the wolves to live in. The crucial step is to mend their reputation by informing and educating the public, including pet owners and gamekeepers. (Academia Film Olomouc)

English Of Wolves and Men offers an interesting insight into the slowly growing population of wolves in our territory, which have started to return to us after more than a hundred years. For ecologists this is a small miracle, but for private animal keepers and people in the borderlands it is a rather unpleasant fact. Can humans and wolves coexist in harmony? This is not the only question that the film addresses, and in addition to outlining the wolf situation in Czechia, it also tries to raise awareness among people. After all, wolves have been an integral part of our nature for many years and as apex predators they are an important link in the food chain in the wild, so it is in our interest to try to coexist with them in a non-violent way.
