“It’s not a choice, it’s a calling that has to be in your blood.” Aisholpan’s father, Nurgaiv.

THE EAGLE HUNTRESS is both a girl power story and a powerful father-daughter drama. Its hero is 13 year old Aisholpan, from Asia’s Altai Mountains, the first female Kazakh in twelve generations to be an eagle huntress.

The Eagle Huntress is so beautifully shot you’d book passage to visit this isolated world in Mongolia by the China border. Director Otto Bell said, “It’s not the end of the world, but you can see it from there.” The nomadic tribe that gives us Aisolpan is so loving and innocent as to make us wonder what our modern technology has taken from us.
