CHALLENGE TO BE FREE-- The Other 'Mad Trapper' Movie


Not sure why it's never really mentioned in conjunction with DEATH HUNT's history, but the story of The Mad Trapper of Rat River was actually the subject of another film: CHALLENGE TO BE FREE which is apparently "suggested by" the research of Mad Trapper historian Dick North -- whatever that means.

Here is a link to the IMDb reference page for the film, which amazingly is a family oriented project:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074299/combined

and while unavailable on DVD, used VHS tapes go for about a dollar via amazon.com, use the product link at the top of the reference page. Haven't seen it for myself yet but thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention, no offense to DEATH HUNT but maybe they actually managed to get a few of the basic facts about the event right on this one.
