I had the special opportunity at the Dartmouth Hopkins Center to see an advanced screening of Tiger Tiger followed by Q&A with Director George Butler and Writer Caroline Alexander. Tiger Tiger truly mesmerizes the audience from start to finish- leading the audience deep within the Sundarbans mangrove forests bordering India and Bangladesh. Tiger Tiger does not simply explore the world of animal conservation, but tells a human story of struggle waged in the backdrop of social, economic and environmental undercurrents of the fight to protect the endangered tiger species. In Tiger Tiger there are tense moments pregnant with heaviness, created by a rich soundtrack and hauntingly-still camera angles reminiscent of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness; the audience too is searching and seeking alongside the Dr. Rabinowitz. From the sweeping landscapes made possible by innovative drone cinematography, to the almost uncomfortably close visuals of wildlife, to the fiery passions of Dr. Rabinowitz and fellow conservationists and researchers, this film is a jewel.
