American Bolshevik (2023)

Synopsis

American Bolshevik tells the story of the coyote’s expansion into New England long after the slaughter of the native wolf species, and the attempts of modern day New Englanders to adjust to their new neighbors. The film follows a century of abuse, attempts to malign the coyote as a useless vermin and dangerous predator, and decade after decade of escalating attempts to eradicate the species. Despite the staggering cost and effort expended to eliminate the coyote, once described in Scientific American as "the original Bolshevik," the animal has not only survived, but expanded its territory throughout the lower 48, and is currently thriving in every major city and suburb of the continental United States.
