Man-Eaters of Kumaon

on BBC Two England

Screenplay by JOHN ELLIOT and MARTIN BOOTH with and When the tigers in the hills of Kumaon turn from their natural prey to taking human life, the villagers send for help to naturalist and big-game hunter Jim Corbett. Sickened by the slaughter for sport, Corbett has swapped his rifle for a cine camera and is faced with an agonising decision: to save the lives of Indian villagers he has grown up with, or to destroy the animals he has now dedicated his life to protecting.
