Grey Owl, filmed on location in Canada and England, tells the story of the legendary author and environmentalist Grey Owl, who was born Archibald Stansfield Belaney in Hastings, England in 1888. He moved to Canada in 1906, married and worked as a fur trapper until 1927.

In 1925, Grey Owl met a Mohawk woman, who taught him about the damage he and other trappers were doing to nature. He became a vocal environmentalist, and soon began putting his thoughts to paper. He became the first naturalist for Canada's national parks.

Grey Owl wrote three best selling novels. He died in 1938 in Beaver Lodge, which stands today and is visited by thousands of tourists each year.



The Film

Grey Owl was filmed in Wakefield, Ottawa, Canada. It then moved to Massawippi near Montreal, Quebec, before wrapping up production in Hastings, England. Post-production was done in England.

Pierce Brosnan, who finished his second successful stint as Agent 007 in Tomorrow Never Dies and whose third Bond film, The World Is Not Enough, will premiere in November, stars as Grey Owl. Annie Galipeau, an Algonquin Indian, plays Anahareo, the love of Grey Owl's life and his greatest influence.

Acclaimed director/actor Richard Attenborough was at the helm of Grey Owl, which was shot in about 12 weeks.

Grey Owl is now available on DVD and video.
