Minnesota Tiger Man

About This Movie

Minnesota Tiger Man is a gritty documentary that dives deep into the life of Grant Oly and his backyard tiger sanctuary. The film captures the chaotic atmosphere surrounding his struggle as accidents spark a legal nightmare. It's raw, at times uncomfortable, with a pacing that mirrors the tension of Grant's decade-long battle with authorities. The practical effects here are the stark realities of animal care, and the film doesn't shy away from the tough questions about safety and ethics in exotic animal ownership. Grant's passion is palpable, but so is the weight of his controversial choices. There’s a harshness to the whole thing that makes you think—it's not just about the tigers, but what lengths people go to protect their dreams.
