    Wow so inspiring ,I didn't know that this was a practice in Mongolia, Eagle's are my favourite Bird Of Prey,to see they let them go after they have helped the family, is heart warming .This shows if you treat an animal with love and respect ,they will help you.That you can do it ,if you are prepared to go that extra mile well done.

    Watched this with young children, this documentary is very educational and beautiful documented. It portrays courage as a female in a male dominant environment, and an inspirational storyline.

    I rented it, but I cannot understand it. There are no subtitles and it is in a different lagnuage.

    Gorgeous photography and scenery. A noble people whose faith is evident in their daily lives and families. Awesome eagles.
  • Certainly beautiful but overly simple

    This is a crowd pleasing film. Do not get me wrong, the landscape is very nicely shot and breathtaking. It is almost worthwhile just to see those. I also like that it takes on a small story, with a clean line. Many great films tells a simple small story, yet are thought provocative and have depth. However this is not such case. It appears that the focus is very one-dimensioned, that is the breath-taking landscape. The story line appears “thin”, with one take home message, girls can do every thing boys can. This is good. But it does not make a master piece in terms of movies. As there is no nurturing care for the story, it almost made me think Eagle Hunt is an easy task. And I know it is not.
