The Tiger Mafia

About This Movie

The Tiger Mafia is a raw and unsettling documentary that takes you deep into the dark world of illegal tiger breeding. Karl Ammann's investigative work draws you in with its slow, deliberate pacing, making you sit with the uncomfortable truths of what happens behind the curtains of these tiger farms in Southeast Asia. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as the film exposes the brutal trade of tiger parts, both from surviving and slaughtered animals. Ammann’s approach feels like a revelation, showing the stark realities in vivid detail without any gloss for effect. There’s a certain gravitas to the storytelling, as it navigates heavy themes like conservation, exploitation, and moral responsibility. It’s not just about the tigers, but about humanity's indifference too.
