Wildscreenings: Double Bill: China's Killer Zoos and Battle to Save the Tiger (Award Winners)

Featuring brief report from Sky News Asia on China's Killer Zoos followed by David Attenborough narrated documentary.

The tiger, our most charismatic big cat, faces extinction in the wild. David Attenborough narrates this moving documentary tracing the history of man’s relationship with the tiger from the 1960s when tiger shooting was legal to the present day when huge numbers of fresh skins are being illegally traded from India to Tibet and China. This is a story of three champions of tiger conservation – an undercover investigator, a tireless political campaigner and a whistle-blowing scientist – and their dogged pursuit of the truth. Their actions have brought them into stark conflict with Project Tiger, the very government body set up to protect the tiger in India.
