A doc about this guy... ok, he was a ballet dancer then he and his woman started working with big cats as like a Sigfried and Roy of everywhere other than Vegas. Then they took on this other guy and both the second guy and the woman were killed by one of their tigers. So the still-alive guy - who's quite a character in his own right - recounts his life story set to fuzzy out-of-focus 16 and video footage.

I must say I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Even though the guy wore these really... awful wigs the whole time and they never addressed it, his story was pretty enthralling. It was pretty slow though and a lot of the questions afterward were things that the movie kinda should've answered for us, but oh well. it wasn't bad.
