Add to basketA group of longtime friends gathers for an intimate 25th anniversary dinner celebration as a forest fire rages out of control in the nearby mountains of southeastern BC. When an unexpected gift transforms a discussion about the local wolf cull into a heated argument over economic inequality, conflicting values within the tight-knit group are revealed. The Cull contrasts the dynamics of human self-interest with the instinctive communal behaviour of wolves... turning this particular dinner party into a night of "eat or be eaten."
