Watch The Tiger and the Monk

Wat Pa Luangta Bua is a monastery of meditation, situated far away from any civilization, about 200 kilometers west of Bangkok, and here, silence, peace and harmony reign. Every afternoon, a daily ritual is observed - nonchalant Buddhist monks take their ten 3-5 year old tigers out on a leash for a walk through the bordering region of Burma. They dote upon their tigers, feed them and celebrate them as their most sacred animal.

The Tiger and the Monk is a 2006 documentary with a runtime of 50 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.9.
