The Eagle Huntress

Directed by Otto Bell

Executive producer Daisy Ridley narrates this visually stunning documentary about Aisholpan, a 13-year-old girl who becomes the first female in twelve generations of her Kazakh family to become an eagle hunter, and rises to the pinnacle of a tradition that has been handed down from father to son for centuries. A rare look at one of the world’s last true wildernesses, this is a larger-than-life story, but one that’s anchored by intimate moments.
