Grey Owl’, was an Englishman who moved to Canada and embarks on a Native American adventure packed with high explosives, exploitation and romance. The true story tells the tale of the enigmatic Archie Belaney, an Englishman who moved to the Canadian wilds and reinvented himself as the Apache Indian, ‘Grey Owl.’
When Grey Owl takes to the Canadian wilderness as a trapper and adventurer, he exploits the forests for his own profit, making good use of dynamite and high explosives! However, he soon changes his ways when he meets the native Mohawk-Indian ‘Pony’ and falls in love with her. Slowly, through her kindness, he learns to protect and not trap animals, a decision that has enormous consequences.
Grey Owl begins to understand the fragile balance of their habitat and embarks on a mission to bring awareness of the destruction of the natural world to the masses. He rises to international status as a pioneering voice of environmental conservation but his fame is jeopardized when a reporter discovers his dark secret that he is a white man not the Indian he is made out to be.
