Film Fest: Fur real: ‘Being Bucky’ shows what it takes to wear the suit (77 Square)

Everybody knows Bucky Badger. Then again, nobody knows Bucky Badger.

That’s why the documentary “Being Bucky” will likely open a few eyes as to what it’s like — and what it takes — to be the live version of the state’s most visible symbol.

The film, which played to a sold-out theater at the Wisconsin Film Festival and will return Friday, April 10, to Point Cinemas, tracks the lives of the seven guys who play Bucky. It begins with the tryouts and continues throughout a busy, busy year.
