Synopsis

Mowgli is a human child raised by wolves in the Indian jungle, taught by Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, and threatened by Shere Khan the tiger. Kipling's linked stories are darker and stranger than their adaptations suggest: a serious meditation on belonging, loyalty, and the laws that hold communities together.
