Embrace the TIGER WITHIN starring Ed Asner and Margot Josefsohn

TIGER WITHIN stars Ed Asner, 91, in the best performance of his lifetime. And newcomer Margot Josefsohn, 14, stuns in her powerhouse debut.

Samuel (Asner), a widowed Holocaust survivor, happens upon Casey (Josefsohn), a homeless teen asleep in an Los Angeles cemetery.

It's easy to see why Casey is troubled. Abandoned by her father, and neglected by a mother whose only loyalty is to an abusive boyfriend, Casey doesn't have the skills to help herself. She has taken on a punk persona but that only makes her an ostracized misfit at school.

With nothing and no one, Casey runs away to LA. She is homeless, with no idea how much of a sitting duck she is.

A chance meeting in the cemetery is an incredible stroke of luck. But the rebellious teen fights Samuel at every turn. Knowing she needs looking after, he doesn’t let her push him away.

The poignant screenplay by Gina Wendkos (Princess Diaries, Coyote Ugly) is her best yet. And, the captivating story could not have come at a better time. It shines a glaring light on the idiocy of ignorant hate.

With white supremacy rearing its hideous head, TIGER WITHIN restores faith that maybe, just maybe, the goodness in the world can overpower the ugliness.

Wendkos's expert writing, the sensitive directing of Rafal Zielenski, and a brilliantly hand-picked cast, make this indie a must-see. Interludes of animation, along with a great soundtrack, are treats for your eyes and ears.
