The Eagle Huntress plot
"Witness one girl's dream take flight"
Aisholpan is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives as a nomad in Mongolia. She is closely followed in this documentary during her training to become an 'eagle hunter': someone who hunts with the aid of an eagle. If she succeeds, she will become her family's first female eagle hunter, following twelve generations of male hunters with the same specialty.

Nice movie. What a strong and brave girl, and what a sweet family she has. I think it's an interesting documentary that managed to take me along in the story. Nice and finely presented, not cold or distant. I didn't necessarily need the voice-over, but it didn't bother me either. Beautiful soundtrack by Sia. 4*

Nice.
Fairly average but sympathetic documentary. The setting and the country appeal to me, but it doesn't really get very deep or compelling. But the steppes of Mongolia are a very rewarding backdrop and hunting on horseback and with an eagle is of course also adventurous enough to keep things lively.

I love birds of prey. When I see one near us in the plain, a buzzard, I always stop in amazement. Also on my way to the summer Alps I always look fascinated - trying to ensure my safety and that of my passengers - at the beautiful red kites that circulate above us.
This documentary offers more than just training with golden eagles. It also offers some women's emancipation. Because hunting with eagles is actually a man's business. Against the advice of many prominent figures in authority, a father trains his talented daughter to be an eagle huntress. A beautiful portrait in which nature and culture come together beautifully.
Breathtaking at times. A feel good show too, because the sacrifices and the moments when things could go wrong are not really shown. Like it was all a piece of cake. A little too easy and not very deep in that area. However, the wild nature and views make up for it.
