Tigerland tells the story of two remarkable men Kailash Sankhala and Pavel Fomenko, who through sheer force of will and determination dedicated their lives to altering the fate of the Tiger.
Shot in India and Russia, Tigerland spotlights the efforts of Kailash Sankhala, the ever-passionate Indian naturalist and conservationist who was also famously known as the Tiger-Man of India.
