Bart the Bear

Director Russell Chadwick's documentary Good Boy follows a very furry friendship and work relationship between US animal trainer Doug Seus and a 680 kilogram bear. Good Boy refers to a massive Kodiak Bear named Bart who has appeared in several Hollywood movies, including White Fang, Legends of the Fall, and the aptly named The Bear. He also had a leading role in a film directed by Kiwi Lee Tamahore - The Edge, opposite Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin and Elle McPherson! Good Boy director Russell Chadwick spoke to Kathryn Ryan on Nine to Noon about Bart and his trainer.
