Meena asked me to post this announcement about the Eagle Huntress to the listserv, with this note:
"I liked the film very much. It is shot beautifully and with due respect to majestic golden eagles. The locals also treated the Golden Eagles with such respect and after 7 years of being in captivity the birds are released back to the wild so that can start breeding with the wild birds." - Meena I've also seen the film and agree that the cinematography is amazing, and the story inspiring. Diane Here is the announcement: Cornell Cinema presents *THE EAGLE HUNTRESS* "*The Eagle Huntress* is all at once an inspiring story for children of all ages to believe that they can do anything, a reflection of the unfairness of gender roles and a rare and unique look at a remote part of the world. It's a worthwhile film for both children and adults and especially those who would try to clip the wings of a young girl with big dreams."
