In a nutshell: A 13 year old girl (Aisholpan) who lives in Mongolia grows up with her dad hunting with eagles. Aisholpan then develops a strong interest in it, that then leads to her training with her dad and competing in the National Eagle Contest. But what happens? Find out by watching this amazing documentary...
Filmed despite the odds, in sub zero temperature with GoPros and drones. Some amazing shots include; first person eagle flight and wide drone footage of Mongolian mountain ranges. Interestingly the joyful and calming soundtrack is done by Sia (a famous singer).
This documentary is very universal, I would recommend this anyone between the ages of 3 and 100!
I would give this documentary 4/5
