Of all the creatures that stalk India's jungles, none evoke such awe as the tiger.
Elusive, mysterious and seldom seen, this great cat has defeated every effort to record more than a glimpse of its life, until now - though even this dramatic portrait of the tiger's world took two-and-a-half years to film.
Tigers stalk and kill their prey, mate and rear their young in a wild India, the land of Kipling's Jungle Books. They share it with deer and peacock, monkey, snake and crocodile. It is a land of breathtaking beauty that, except in a few beleaguered strongholds, vanished long ago.
