An outstanding film - beautiful and awe-inspiring

This is a truly beautiful film. I was spell-bound for the entire 86 minutes.

The sheer majesty of these stunning birds is captured to perfection by Mr Spaid and his "Kiran" team - as is the incredible scenery in this harshly beautiful country.

This film transports you to a place most of us will never be fortunate enough to visit. It enables us to witness first-hand the ancient tradition of eagle-hawking. A tradition which I, for one, hope will continue for many more centuries.

Highly recommended!
