Tigers Are Not Afraid

description

In TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID, Issa López tackles a subject of great significance, finally giving a voice to a whole generation of children who’ve been forgotten and abandoned by society. She manages to mix in fantastic elements with tremendous subtlety, thus elevating the story by giving it an even darker tone set alongside whimsy. TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID is a dark, stunning fairytale told from the magical point of view of incredibly brave and unusual children. These children are no longer “out of sight, out of mind.” Thanks to López’s remarkable work, audiences will walk out of the theater with a brand new perspective on a well-worn cinematic subgenre.
