Tigers and Humans

The world's tiger population has declined dramatically over the past century. More than 100,000 tigers existed in 1900, but the tiger trade has greatly reduced this number. Currently there are fewer than 3,500 living tigers. Fewer than 20 South China tigers are alive today, and the Caspian, Javanese and Balinese tigers are now extinct. "Tigers and Humans" takes a brutal and honest look at the industry and the supply/demand that leads to the killing of thousands of tigers each year. The film also shows the beauty and power of the felines and makes an appeal to save tigers. Sergey Yastrzhembskiy's documentary delves into one of the most topical dramas of the relationship between humanity and nature.
