Cast & Crew
A Bolivian park ranger and a young Hong Kongese journalist go undercover to investigate a new, deadly jaguar trade sweeping across South America. Along the way, they grapple with questions of empathy, responsibility and bridging a cultural gap to prevent the jaguar trade from spiraling out of control. Shuttling between the breathtaking biodiversity of Madidi National Park in Bolivia and the tense China-Myanmar border, Tigre Gente juxtaposes the splendor of the jungle against the small-minded nature of Man.
