In this "50 Documentaries to See Before You Die" extended interview, actress Aisha Tyler justifies the exploitation of Timothy Treadwell in "Grizzly Man" (2005). Directed by Werner Herzog, "Grizzly Man" follows bear activist Timothy Treadwell's last days as he lives among the animals that would eventually take his life. Though the documentary could have been used solely to shock audiences, Tyler believes Herzog used a finesse that allows Treadwell's life and death to feel haunting rather than shamelessly gruesome.
