The Eagle Huntress is a true soul candy. An inspiring story beautifully filmed. It is very interesting to see how different life is in the Altai mountains, unaffected by time and the modern world and yet, the people seem to be happy and get by despite living in harsh conditions. It is also the story of hope, dreams and change of tradition. A young girl who wishes to become the first eagle huntress and breaks traditions that are hundreds of years old. Her loving father fully supports here on her journeys and the bond between them is truly touching. It would be a shame to lose more words over it since it would be best if you start watching it a soon as possible. You will not regret it.

If they had said it was 'based on a true story' or it was a 'drama documentary' I'd have given it 8 out of 10, but they didn't. They said it was a documentary. I don't think it is, unless you accept Grierson's definition of documentary as "creative treatment of actuality". But does anyone today think that Nanook of the North is a documentary?

Really really good film ,fantastic photography ,great story very brave girl ,this will be watched for years,she deserves all the credit. The girl was so brave climbing down the cliff,not many would have done that with the mother eagle flying above ,that might swoop at any moment, what great trust and love between a proud father and his daughter.this film took us through step by step all the emotions and excitement of the training of her eagle.The moment her eagle flew in the competition in the fastest time ever was a tear jerking win that none of the judges could dispute and to see her father face full of pride,from such a strong powerful honest man of Mongolia .The winter filming of the hunt was stunning ,so cold the director did so well filming all this to show what a difficult life this hunting is and to prove she did it , Bell has produced a really good film of a lovely family living working laughing and winning together

[email protected] May 1, 2016Essential and interesting reading to get past the hype and western prejudices of what is a fine film with an ignorant vein about the place of women in Central Asian eagle hunting...When she was interviewed in Mongolia's leading newspaper in 2016, however, Aisholpan's mother Alma gul stated that there are no restrictions on girls deciding to be eagle hunters. In the film itself, Aisholpan's father Agalai says, "I think boys and girls are equal."
