I first watched this movie when I was a kid and it was my favorite movie. I watched it several times. The movie is exciting, the acting is good and I find the climbing convincing. Kim is brave and tough girl with strong opinions. She is a good role model for girls who are only taught to be sweet and kind.
Because of this movie I started loving wolves and as an adult I have become a Norwegian wolf fighter (and animal activist). Many shepards in Norway wants wolves eradicated. And some people living in the so-called wolf zone, that openly say they want the wolves to live, have recieved death-threats or violence. So that one of the shepards in the movie is angry is realistic. There are many wolf haters in Norway, but the majority wants the wolves to live.
And unfortunality, many shepards and politicians from the Center Party (formerly the Peasants' Party) work in the Predatory Committee which decides how many wolves are to be shot each year. And Norwegian politicians find killing wolves to reduce the predator conflict. This movie is just as relavant in 2022 as it was in 2003. Let the wolves live!
