Operation Wolf Patrol - Feature Documentary - USA

4/27/2021

 
Animalis Fabula Film Festival Best of Fest April 2021 Operation Wolf Patrol
Operation Wolf Patrol is a feature length documentary about eco-activist, Rod Coronado, and his attempt to end wolf hunting in the United States.
​
Over the course of three years we watch Rod work to redefine his activism in an era– post 9/11, where some have called him an “eco-terrorist.” The film comes to a climax when Coronado's "Wolf Patrol" is met with a tightening of "hunter harassment" laws that prohibit photography on public lands. Now Coronado has to ask himself is he willing to go back to prison to fight a law that some are calling "unconstitutional."

AniFab judge's aggregate score for Operation Wolf Patrol is a 9 out of 10 with notes from one judges stating,  "Powerful.  It's great to see Rod on the next chapter in his journey.  This judge is a sucker for people sharing stories about gross inequities perpetrated on animals.  it takes balls to film it, and talent, skill and craft to weave it all into a compelling movie that needs to be seen, as Joe Brown and Operation Wolf Patrol does.'

Animalis Fabula Film Festival Best of Fest April 2021 Operation Wolf Patrol
​Director Statement "Operation Wolf Patrol" is longitudinal film about the silencing of an activist group advocating against animal cruelty. When I set out to make the film I was concerned with environmental issues such as poaching, species conservation, and wildlife management. What I found in making the film was a turbulent political landscape characterized by extreme polarization, toxic masculinity, racism, and authoritarianism. When I look at "Operation Wolf Patrol" with this realization in mind I am struck by the fact that during the years I was filming, 2014 - 2018, I was documenting the unraveling of America at its fringes. Ultimately, this film represents 5+ years of work, a legal battle about free speech, and a changing America.
