What makes this skillful documentary so touching is not that Mabel found a career in taming tigers; it is that she found a home there.

Tiger Trainer packs in a lot of amazing, little-known facts, about circuses, big cat training and the barriers women faced in the early 20th century, while introducing us to the once famous and still impressive Mabel Stark.
