Kiran Over Mongolia

2004 | English

Kuma, a young Kazak man, retraces the steps of his grandfather who was formerly an eagle master back to the remote mountainous region of his family’s origin. There he fulfills his dream of trapping and training his own eagle. Under the tutelage of a local eagle master named Khairatkhan, Kuma learns not only the ways of hunting with eagles, but also the ways of his own people. Set against the staggering and exotic beauty of Mongolia, the viewer is immersed in a world forgotten by time.
