Stranded on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean, Pi finds himself sharing his small refuge with Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. What follows is an epic tale of survival that tests the limits of human endurance, faith, and the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of trauma.</description></item></channel></rss>
