About the programme
In this programme from the locally produced Lessons from the Wild series, the tiger, through the use of stunning wildlife footage, is used as a metaphor to explore the concept of change.
It tells the story of two Bengal tigers that were brought up in captivity, where they failed to breed, and were then taken to South Africa to see if they could be re-introduced to the wild, in the hope of starting a Tiger breeding programme. A human surrogate 'mother' (John Varty) teaches them to stalk and hunt. Initially, their hunting is misdirected; then, after developing a strategy, they learn the value of waiting, patience, timing, stealth and ambush.
We humans are all 'tigers in cages', trapped by our beliefs, habits and entrenched routines, which prevent us from reaching our potential. We can cling to our old ways and become extinct, or like tigers, we can embrace change, and survive.
