FRIENDS FOR LIFE . . . Feature Film Description
Friends for Life is a full length motion picture that tells the story of a retired big city attorney who—now living in a small mountain town—suffers loneliness after the death of his wife. In the depths of despair, he encounters a modern day comical mischievous angel who encourages the widower to resume his life. The grieving lawyer refuses to listen until one day—in the woods near his home, he discovers four orphaned wolf pups that face certain death without his help. He takes in the pups and nurtures them until they are old enough to go back into the wild. Alone again, he calls on his legal experience when he becomes embroiled in helping the town fend off an unscrupulous land developer. Out in the woods, he is attacked by a ferocious grizzly bear only to be saved by the reappearance of the wolf pack. His gift of life to the wolves is repaid in full and he has four loyal friends for life.
Starring Michael Flynn, Tayva Patch, and Jimmy Chunga, Friends for Life was directed by Michael Spence. It was written by Joseph Meier and Charles E. Sellier.

· "Friends for Life is a wonderful and uplifting family story. Our entire family laughed, cried, and gasped—and at the end, we cheered. During the scene with the bear, the kids (7 and 9) leapt from their seats in fear and excitement. The Teeth!! The Growling!! The Wolves Saved Him!! It was a very exciting part of the movie. I caught myself in tears or near tears several times—and laughing out loud just as many times. We enjoyed this movie so much I can hardly wait to share it with my extended family and friends." M.M.—Colorado

Baby boomer grandparents and older adults can easily identify with the movie's main character, whether or not they've lost a spouse." C.W.—Georgia
