Girl Power! First, let me say that I hate movies with subtitles, but I endured this one and glad I did. It is a wonderful story of a 13-year-old girl who defied the odds and became not only the first female eagle huntress but also the youngest. The photography in this movie is incredible. To be honest, I'm amazed that the Mongolian tribe allowed the filming of this because they are such aloof people.

Being an animal lover, I felt sorry for the Golden Eagles that they use, but after seeing this movie, they treat them with such respect, I couldn't be mad at them.

This was a totally engrossing film--as soon as it began I couldn't stop watching. Incredible cinematography of the sweeping Mongolian steppe. The Kahzakh live in this a remote, cold place where in winter the temp is below -40 to -50 degrees! You get an insight into their culture, and the tradition of eagle hunting. The family is incredibly close and happy, and supportive of their daughter that wants to join in what is traditionally a man's role, that of eagle hunting. The young girl in the film is resolute in her decision and fearless. For me, a true test of good film is when while watching you forget that you are reading subtitles--which was the case here. Deserves a five star rating, and one I would highly recommend.
