Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night. These lines from William Blake’s famous poem are bound to become reality if we continue down our chosen path.

The Tiger is the most popular animal on the planet. At the same time the big cat species finds itself on the IUCN red list for being endangered. Three of the known subspecies are already extinct and the South China tiger appears to have suffered the same fate. This paradoxical situation is the foundation of The Tyger, a short film concerned with making the plight of the tiger palpable to an audience that might be able to affect the animal’s fate.
