Set in Malaysia’s Royal Belum State Park - one of the world's oldest rainforests - an international crew deploys motion-sensor cameras to film rare wildlife, including critically endangered Malayan tigers (barely 150 remaining), panthers, elephants, tapirs, and sun bears. When a devastating virus collapses the ecosystem, the filmmakers train and hand their cameras to rangers from the Jahai tribe, part of the local Orang Asli ("Original People") community. Documenting their own threatened land from within, these native guardians capture what may be the tiger's final generation, in an urgent plea for global conservation.
