In 2015 a film called The Revenant was released, about a man who was attacked by a bear and left for dead by his fellow trappers in a harsh, empty landscape. The ferocity of the bear was violent, graphic and intense and all based on a true story. The story of Hugh Glass, a larger than life American hero who survived impossible odds, facing starvation, death and violence, but managed to tell his tale.
