The Eagle Huntress

This was an extremely insightful documentary that focused on the First Eagle Huntress (incredibly only 13 years old) in a central region of Asia. Or something around there, she's part of the Kazakh people.

So firstly the story is fucking amazing. She defied everyone in their narrow minded sexist views and managed to defy all of these odds in actual winning this famous Eagle Hunting Competition. So the central story is obviously remarkable. But I'm not sure about the integrity of it being a documentary... There are multiple occasions where the situations feel very set up and not as real or truthful that would have made a truly original and impactful film. But that's not the subjects fault, its the filmmakers technique that failed it.

In a Sentence: Not as good as it could have been. Unfortunately.
