More than a wildlife documentary, Guardian of the Giants is a reflection on stewardship - a tribute to the people of Maine who value, protect, and rally around this magnificent species. Through candid interviews with biologists, guides, and outdoor enthusiasts, the film reveals a shared pride and responsibility for the moose that roam Maine’s forests. Guardian of the Giants reminds us that Maine wouldn’t be Maine without the moose - and that their future depends on all of us.
