| Summary: | Once the aristocrat of the jungles of Southeast Asia, the tiger, undisputed ruler of the animal kingdom, is one of the most endangered species in the world today. Three of the eight subspecies are already extinct. Only 500 to 2,000 tigers still inhabit the intact jungle regions of south China, Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Situated far away from any civilization, about 200 kilometers west of Bangkok, Wat Pa Luangta Bua is a monastery of meditation where silence, peace and harmony reign. This documentary portrays the harmonious relationship between predators and humans there. Every afternoon, a daily ritual is observed: nonchalant Buddhist monks take their 10 three to five- year-old tigers out on a leash for a walk through the bordering region of Burma. |
