(19 mins) Mateo Arango Guerrero, Australia, NZ Premiere.

In Mongolia’s timeless Altai Mountains, Kharakoz, a 13-year-old girl, embodies a captivating blend of ancestral traditions and modern influences. As she learns the ancient art of eagle-hunting, the film delves into the powerful ripple effect of passing this sacred knowledge to girls. It showcases how Kharakoz and others like her aren’t just preserving, but actively invigorating Kazakh culture in the face of rapid change.
