The murder of a forest guard takes a polarizing turn when a tiger is jailed and named as the lone suspect in this thought-provoking documentary.

Tiger 24 is the gripping story of a wild tiger in India whose life ignited a nationwide debate on conservation, justice, and coexistence.

Originally conceived as a portrait of T24, the dominant male of Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve, the film took an unexpected turn in 2015 when T24 killed a man who entered his territory. Branded a “man-eater,” the tiger was removed from the wild and confined to a zoo. The decision sparked massive social uproar, with activists taking their fight from the streets to billboards, social media, and even the Supreme Court of India.

Shot in stunning 4K with a cinematic style that emphasizes space, territory, and the delicate boundary between human and animal worlds, Tiger 24 brings audiences into the heart of this urgent conflict. Wide shots capture tiger territory as a character in itself, while intimate interviews ground the story in the voices of those most affected.

At once a conservation documentary and a broader meditation on how humans choose to live alongside predators, Tiger 24 reveals how one tiger became an icon in the struggle to protect a species, and the wild places they call home.
