Tiger 24

Tiger 24 is a fantastic story that is extremely relevant for our times. Who defines space and how can we protect the animals in their habitat. A finely well directed film and a must see just for the footage of the tigers in the wild. As I watched this excellent film I felt like I had traveled across the globe to involve myself in the controversy. While I can sympathize with the villagers I felt more empathy toward the tiger and his unfortunate situation. Hopefully this documentary will shed light on this tiger's plight and convince the powers that me to release him into a more humane situation with the time he has left on earth.

Extraordinary documentary that is riveting from start to finish. Shows the ground reality of tiger conservation in India. The story centers around a massive male tiger called TIGER 24 / T24 / Ustad and his alleged killings on humans in and around Ranthambhore tiger reserve. His story has a lot of nuance and layers and the film reflects this in a gripping manner.

The footage is awesome. I have never seen tiger footage that looks so great and is so unguarded with long takes that lets the natural action unfold as opposed to the usual Nature Documentary editing.

TIGER 24 is not a Nature Documentary. This is more of a narrative documentary with a murder mystery and a message about the ground reality of conservation.

Definitely watch on a big screen or projector to appreciate the photography. My partner and I have a small home theater system so the film looked and sounded awesome. Music is really great too.

I have been tracking TIGER 24 for a decade because I know the filmmaker Warren Pereira and the ordeal that this project has been for him. Although I have seen snippets of his rough cut over the years I was not always sure if all the work, time and money he put into it was worth it. But now having seen the finished film and being so moved by the story, the top-notch cinematography and the message I do believe that his efforts were worth it. TIGER 24 is a compelling watch but also an important watch for those concerned about the future health of Mother Nature. Congratulations to Warren Pereira and the team behind TIGER 24.

Like wildlife documentaries? What about true crime? This is the perfect fusion. An in depth investigative look into a tiger who was wrongfully removed from his territory, and the complex circumstances surrounding the forest department's treatment of India's dominant male tiger.

The craft of the filmmaking is very on point. The director won a Wildscreen Panda Award for best on screen talent, beating out the likes of David Attenborough!

It's a very enjoyable and heart wrenching ride of a documentary that ratchets up nicely and leaves no stone unturned. The film does a nice job of exploring both sides of the argument.

Saw it at Wildscreen (on the hub) where this fine doc took home the Panda Award.

TIGER 24 surprised me, in a good way. Usually these docs are about their pretty shots of animals which this doc does have but it also has an actual story, a murder mystery and an educational component as well.

I found myself on ride from the activist point of view to the governments point of view. Is T24 a man eating tiger? Did T24 kill and eat the men or was it another animal?

Kudos to the team behind the editing of this film. The shots are quality but putting together this layered story in way that is simple enough to hold the audience attention is a challenging feat.

I feel like when I watch this doc again I will probably enjoy it further as it does have a lot of layers so there is more to take in and explore.

I recommend it and will be looking forward to the Digital Release.
