Feet on the ground, head in the sky

Happy birthday, rushthatspeaks, my blue-haired love! Did you know that there is now a documentary about Aisholpan Nurgaiv, the then-thirteen-year-old Mongolian Kazakh female eagle hunter whose photographs quite understandably went viral in 2014? It's called The Eagle Huntress. I thought you should know.

That photo is so breathtakingly terrific!

I linked as heavily as I did partly because all the photos are worth it. But that one I just loved.

I also really like this one, taken this year at Sundance at the film's world premiere:



The eagle is not hers; Akkatnat had to stay in Mongolia. This one was on loan from the Comanche.

On loan from the Comanche! *swoon*

It is very definitely the sort of thing that makes a better world.

I hope the documentary opens near you soon! We're waiting until mid-November.

Looks like it's not scheduled for here yet, but up in Phoenix. I'll still ask the local arthouse when they plan to show it.
