Stories of werewolves have existed for thousands of years and continue to live on today. They're especially prominent in European literature and folklore, and often found in cultures where the wolf is the largest natural predator.

Pavlac investigates. [Directed by Reza Riahi & Mehdi Shiri, narrated by Jack Cutmore-Scott, music by André Aires].
