Tiger - a being who triggers our primaeval fear with its unmatched predatory skills and who makes our hearts skip a beat with its dazzling striped beauty, is the protagonist of the recently launched feature-length documentary Project Tiger by Nature inFocus. Here, ace wildlife filmmakers Kalyan Varma and Rohit Varma (cofounders of Nature inFocus) successfully portray the gripping story of India’s national animal. The film makes you experience a range of emotions as you travel with the tiger through its most challenging years on Indian soil. The narration of the story by conservation stalwarts and the compelling visual depiction, including rare archival footage, unveil never-before-known hidden truths behind the world’s biggest conservation success story - Project Tiger.

“Project Tiger is an incredible achievement for India. It is about protecting the tiger. By saving the species, which is a metaphor for conservation, we essentially ensure the country’s ecological security. Hence, we wanted to document the entire story of this project to let the world know how India managed to revive its tiger population with the help of this project, and today houses the highest wild tiger population,” mentioned Kalyan.
