The story of a 13-year-old girl who trains to become the
first female eagle hunter in Kazakhstan in decades, "The Eagle
Huntress" stars a young Kazakh girl called Aisholpan, who also
attended the premiere, a new experience for her.
"The first time I saw myself in the movie I was very excited to
see it," Aisholpan explained. "It was funny and interesting but
I didn't know it was going to be that big."
Already well-received at the Sundance Film Festival this year,
"The Eagle Huntress" opens in theaters on limited release on
November 2.
