Award-winning Yellowstone photographer and documentary filmmaker Brad Orsted\'s seven-year search for refuge and Redemption in America\'s greatest wilderness.
It is a Journey of the spirit-- a Journey to forgiveness and sobriety, to love and life, to memory, and ultimately, to Marley..
Brad\'s ten-year odyssey is about finding the Wild inside the human heart.
The elder\'s words started Brad on a Journey towards sobriety and inner peace, only possible because of lessons he learned in the wild, his new job as a wildlife photographer and filmmaker, and two orphan grizzly cubs who carried him back home and taught him how to live again.
Desperate for help, Brad invited himself to a Crow sweat lodge ceremony, where an elder told him it was time to stop grieving.
For the first time in almost two years, he realized he wanted to live--he just didn\'t know how.
Through the Wilderness begins in Yellowstone, five months after the family\'s arrival in 2012, when, in an alcoholic haze, Brad stumbled into a field of sage and survived a face-to-face encounter with an adult male grizzly bear.
She finally found a job in Yellowstone National Park and, with their daughters, Mazzy and Chloe, the pair fled Michigan, looking for refuge and Redemption in the 2.2 million acres of glorious American wilderness.
He planned his suicide as his wife, Stacey, searched for a new beginning.
Blaming himself, he plunged into an abyss of grief, guilt, and self-recrimination, fueled by prescription drugs and alcohol.
When Brad Orsted\'s fifteen-month-old daughter, Marley, died mysteriously at the home of Brad\'s mother, he descended into madness.
