Mike Webber is an award-winning motion picture producer/director who has produced numerous films for studios like 20th Century Fox and Lion’s Gate — and he has some very strong feelings about Tiger King. As Webber’s documentary films have swept film festivals and received the highest praise from film critics and someone who has been studying and documenting America’s big cat trade for over a decade, he is uniquely situated to critique the ethics (or lack thereof) in the making of Tiger King. Mike Webber’s award-winning 2010 feature-length documentary, The Elephant in the Living Room (available for streaming on Amazon, Vudu, and Apple) iTunes) takes viewers on a journey deep inside the controversial American subculture of raising big cats, venomous snakes, and other dangerous animals as pets. It is THE documentary to watch about private ownership of exotic animals in America and the film became the topic of an NBC 20/20 special feature. Webber was the key note speaker at the 2019 Big Cat Sanctuary Alliance conference because of his expertise and commitment to ending the exotic pet trade in America. This is a candid conversation about ethics in film and the worst ways in which Tiger King misled viewers. This is an unedited and unscripted conversation and neither of us pulled any punches.
