This tells the story of dick proenneke who, in the late 1960s, built his own cabin in the wilderness at the base of the aleutian peninsula. Using color footage he shot himself, proenneke traces how he came to this remote area, selected a homestead site and built his log cabin completely by himself.
Editor's Note
In 1967, at the age of 50, Dick Proenneke retired and moved to the wilds of Alaska, where on the shore of Twin Lakes--in an area where few humans had ever set foot--he built himself a log cabin. Following a lifelong dream that many can relate to but few actually act on, Proenneke began making a life for himself in the wild, far from civilization but very close to the breathtaking natural beauty, harsh climate, and diverse wildlife of Alaska. He filmed the evolution of his life there over the course of several years, and Bob Swerer has assembled that footage into ALONE IN THE WILDERNESS, a fascinating study of one man coming to terms with nature.
