The Mountain Man
Overview
Troy James Knapp slowly withdrew from life in the modern world, feeling the call of the woods drawing him in. Long weekends out in the wild grew in length as the ant like human behaviour of the cities became a bitter taste to avoid in the background of a life that had slowly turned sour.

Footage of interviews with people that know Troy, his family members and law enforcement officers that played part in his capture. This would produce a more rounded story in which one side can play off the other creating friction and tension for the audience, yet again using an interatron to achieve this effect.
