SYNOPSIS

TIGRESS explores what happens when a young Tamil-Canadian woman encounters herself as a paramilitary fighter for the notorious terrorist group, the Tamil Tigers - and her sense of western privilege collides with the reality of her ancestors. TIGRESS addresses the disparity between diaspora youth who rebel with drugs and partying, and Tamil youth who rebel by arming themselves and going to war.
