Old 2019 docu of 3 ppl, not tigers in film; outdated since 2018.

99% of this amateur filmed docu is about 3 ppl who do some conservation work for tigers. Virtually no tigers scene in entire docu. Lots of time on 3 males chattering on various irrelevant topics. 2 males are tourist guides in India- 1 teen & 1 man. 3rd is male veteran scientist who darts & measures captured tigers in enclosures, not in wild.Last 1/3 of film ficuses on same veteran leading Russian/ Baltic state tiger scientist recovering from a tiger attack bc he lost focus & simple enclosure was not strong enough to hold back mother tiger protecting her 2 cubs. That scene is deleted.India @ time of filming (2018 or earlier bc no smartphones) was trying to keep tourists quiet but things have drastically changed since this film's 2019 release. NOT shown here, since 2018, daily there's hundreds of packed ildling loud trucks, guides yelling in talkies; ppl yelling/ shouting, trucks driving thru entire reserved, ppl trapping Sieka deer, local farming reducing tiger reserve water to 0 or record lows; severe longer hotter record droughts in India. Together ALL have devastating ADVERSE effect on tigers reserves habitats. Also NOT shown here is there's NO PEACE ANYWHERE nor privacy for India reserve tigers that they've literally stopped mating in past 8 yrs.This Film states Tigers need SILENCE & NO PLL interference. Yet, that fact is not achieved. Rangers on elephants who barely make a sound are better for tigers, not for elephants. Film shows only 2 noisy truck Rangers in India, supposedly preventing tiger poachers. Yet film FAILS to address India's main problem- NO wildspaces for tigers as each preserve is surrounded by masses of ppl & trains; & ppl illegally live IN preserves using treees, fruit, prey as free resources.Tragically, EVERY country FAILS to enact & punish illegal poaching & trafficking of any endangered animal. Repeat, worst offenders are arrested but released even when caught with loads contraband, endangered animal parts & witnesses.Skip THIS outdated no tiger film bc BBC with Sir David made best docu on tigers & other wildlife over 30 yrs in his multi hidden camera "SPY series."See Apple TV 2021 "Yr Earth Changed" & new 2025 Nat Geo "Oceans" for recent update on wildlife with lovely filming,& PROOF how little nature needs to replenish itself & endangered wildlife, ult giving humanity a future.

Beautifully filmed and edited

This was a surprise watch as I was changing chanels. I was immediately hooked by the commentary, music and glorious filming. This is a story about tigers from a man who almost lost his life to one. A touching, powerful story that one only hopes will lead to greater conservation. Save the tiger.
