About

As China pours hundreds of billions of dollars into South American infrastructure, jaguars are disappearing from the continent's most protected rainforests. Targeted as substitutes for tiger parts, which have historically been used in traditional Chinese medicines, jaguars are now being trafficked at dangerously high numbers to fill a new market demand.

Spanning mist-covered jungles in the Amazon to bustling wildlife markets in China, Jaguar People (Tigre Gente) follows the storylines of two passionate people fighting to stop the jaguar trade before it's too late.

Three years in the making, "Those People" is an unforgettable new movie giving a behind-the-scenes look into the true stories behind the decade-long run of the New London Talent Show.
They proved that we are all "Those People," and yet, none of us are. This documentary follows the founders, participants, and volunteers of the New London Talent show, a showcase that was started to provide an outlet for the town's local youth and would grow over the next decade to include more than 65 cities and towns, selling out the historic Garde Arts Center theater yearly. As you hear their stories, experiences, and pain, you will also see their triumphs...and a city brought together and prepared to confront the battles that would come in 2020 and beyond.
The New London Talent Show proved that when you face your biases and come together with your talents, you will be surprised by the healing, intentional conversations, and dreams that can arise. Unity begins with accepting our role in stereotyping others and admitting that at any time we can be, are, and have been "Those People."
