An intimate portrait of two men who cherish the slim bond between them and the dream they share in a world marred by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy,and callousness. Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lenny dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own - a couple of acres and a few pigs, chickens, and rabbits back in Hill Country where land is cheap. But after they come...

Examines the effects of releasing thirty-one Canadian gray wolves into Yellowstone National Park in 1995 and 1996, including changed behavior patterns and changes in the ecosystem.

Best friends Lennie and George find themselves unemployed in Depression-era California, unable to maintain a stable working pattern for long because of Lennie's infantile mental capacity. They get hired at the Tyler Ranch but soon their work is ripped apart by tragedy when Curly's beautiful but unhappy wife becomes the innocent victim of Lennie's compassion.
