"Defenseless Mountains" follows the inspiring journey of Amir Hamzeh, a rural elder committed to safeguarding the endangered Gareen Mountains in Iran. With no governmental protection, Hamzeh faces numerous dangers as he employs indigenous methods to protect the local wildlife. The documentary takes a thrilling turn when rumors surface about the return of a rare brown bear species after half a century, reshaping the goals of local residents and environmental organizations. To realize these aspirations, Hamzeh must successfully prove the bears' presence in the Gareen Mountains.
