I felt deceived after seeing a Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's
"Fifth Estate" which exposed many so-called wildlife "documentaries"
for using tame animals. 'Wolves' is one of these. They used tame wolves
from "Animals of Montana Inc." This would be OK if they let the
audience know in some conspicuous fashion. But to pretend all the shots
are of wild wolves is to deceive he audience. Unfortunately, this is
the way many wildlife docs are going as they strive to get better and
better HDVD quality shots of animals in their "habitat". Either a) the
production company doesn't want to spend the time to get these high
quality shots of actual wild animals or b) the public is demanding such
amazing photography that it is really only possible through use of
tame/trained animals.
That's a bit of rant but - hopefully it is useful information.

This movie has very little to do with wolves, and much more about how
the innocent Indians have been betrayed by the evil white man. If
you're expecting a quality, National Geographic type of movie that
explains the lives of wolves, this one isn't for you.
The film starts out kind of promising, showing how some cubs need to
learn how to associate the smell of food with their prey. But the film
quickly turns backwards, beginning to focus on one wolf that has been
domesticated. Who really cares about this? This is an oddity, not the
norm, and you should expect to see a documentary about wolves in their
natural habitat.
