HUNT FOR THE RUSSIAN TIGER

52' (ENG, GER)
Terra Mater Icon

British ecologist and wildlife researcher Chris Morgan has tracked large predators in some of the wildest and most remote places on Earth. He now faces his greatest challenge yet: to find and film the Siberian tiger living wild and free in Russia’s Far Eastern forests.

It has long been accepted as impossible to film the largest big cats on Earth in the wild. But then Sooyong Park, a Korean cameraman, emerged from years in the forest with some extraordinary footage. Nobody had achieved anything like it before or since.

Meeting up with Sooyong Park, Chris will learn how he found the tigers and will soon come to understand the enormity of what Sooyong achieved in capturing the images that we are now able to use in this film. Chris Morgan’s energy and enthusiasm will carry us off into his most challenging, arduous, and deeply affecting adventure yet.
