Long feared, the wolves that have survived in places such as Vancouver Island now live in a habitat where humans are advancing. At the same time our fascination for the wolf \u2014 as the quintessential symbol of something wild and dangerous \u2014 has become stronger. As urban lifestyles have increasingly removed us from nature, some of us want to find that connection again. Encountering a wolf can satisfy our craving for the natural world. Some people have even taken a step further by bringing a wolf or wolf-dog into their homes (literally into their living rooms) as a way to feel closer to the wild. The boundary between wild and domesticated is shifting. Following three such stories where people have developed a unique relationship to wolves, \u201cPart of the Pack\u201d explores the ethical and behavioural questions around creating intimacy with the wild.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Director Biography &#8211;&nbsp;Isabelle Groc, Mike McKinlay<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/imefilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Isabelle-Groc-Mike-McKinlay-headshot.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2322\" width=\"444\" height=\"376\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>ISABELLE GROC \u2013 Writer \/ Co-Director<br>Isabelle Groc is an award-winning journalist, photographer and documentary filmmaker based in Vancouver.
