Our take

This inventively-shot thriller takes a sharp look at the rampant unemployment that lures people into the trade of illegal tiger poaching in central India. Suspenseful and emotionally-charged, the short juxtaposes environmental exploitation with the subjugation of women in patriarchal communities.
