The Tiger Mafia

Overview

Renowned for their beauty yet perilously endangered, tigers face a grim reality revealed by filmmaker Karl Ammann. Over nearly a decade, he investigates the dark world of illegal tiger breeding across hidden Southeast Asian farms. His findings lay bare the horrifying practices of harvesting body parts from both living and slaughtered tigers, which are then sold in China’s illicit pharmaceutical and jewelry markets. Ammann's relentless pursuit of truth sheds light on the ongoing exploitation of these majestic creatures and calls attention to the urgent need for conservation.
