Synopsis

There are approximately 300 Siberian Tigers remaining in the wild, confined to a region in far eastern Russia near the coast. Wildlife biologists undertake dangerous efforts to track and study the tigers' movements and behaviors, often sedating the animals to measure and collar them. One Russian scientist is featured caring for two tigers he discovered as orphaned cubs, raising them in a cage before allowing them into a fenced, forest-like enclosure. These conservation efforts stand in contrast to the actions of poachers, who hunt the tigers for their pelts and body parts, which are sold for use in traditional Chinese medicine.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
