The Children of the Forest

Adventure

The adventures of two wolves experiencing freedom for the first time.

Elisa and her friends have no intention of giving up their fight to return their children – two wolf cubs found and raised in captivity – to the woods. They have taught them the law of the pack, and want to give them a chance to run free.

A compelling true story.
Nature portrayed in all its astonishing harshness.
A tale where the powerful forces of love and hatred that have bound humans and wolves for millennia come vividly to life.
