Filmfest DC – TIGERS

Landmark E Street Cinema, 555 11th St. NW, Washington D.C. 20004

April 20, 2015 6:30pm

In rural Pakistan, an ambitious pharmaceutical rep (Bollywood superstar Emraan Hashmi) lands a job with baby formula juggernaut Lastavita and is sent into the field with other “tigers” to seduce doctors and hospital staff into stocking the brand and counseling new mothers against breast-feeding. He’s good at his job and rises quickly, only to quit abruptly and blow the whistle when he discovers the formula, mixed with the dirty water on which local families subsist, is killing infants.
