TIGRE GENTE
As China pours hundreds of billions of dollars into South American infrastructure, jaguars are disappearing from the continent's most protected rainforests. Targeted as substitutes for tiger in Chinese traditional medicines and amulets, jaguars are being trafficked at dangerously high numbers by Chinese migrant workers who are smuggling parts home for profit. Spanning over mist-covered jungles in the Amazon to bustling wildlife markets in China, our film follows the dual storylines of two passionate people fighting to keep these jaguars alive, and who go to extreme lengths to bring their hunters down.
