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.

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 was lucky to catch TIGER 24 on the Big Screen during its US Theatrical Release. For me that was at the cinemas a Living Room Theaters in Boca Raton, Florida.

Although the story of T24 is ultimately the most moving part of the film seeing the unguarded footage of wild tigers in a theater made for additional impact. In fact I have never seen such strong footage of tigers in the wild.

The story telling holds your interest. Just when you think the Director Warren Pereira is taking you down a pro-activist path as so many docs do he tactfully pulls you into the POV of the government who declare T24 to be a man-eater.

A great watch for anyone who loves a great story but a must watch for doc lovers and natural history lovers. This is not wall paper like OUR PLANET and PLANET EARTH, this is riveting film-making with backdrop of gorgeous natural history footage.

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.

Tiger 24 is a riveting, thought provoking, emotional and relevant documentary exploring the intersection of man and wild animal. My heart was torn between the loss of human life and Tiger #24 having his freedom taken away for no fault of his own. You should watch this film not only because it's beautifully shot and edited, but because we need to understand how government policy is threatening human life and our worlds most beautiful and endangered animals.
