More often than not, stories of courage and animal-human bonding are all the more rousing and inspirational when they are true. The first trailer has arrived for the Daisy Ridley-narrated The Eagle Huntress, which follows the incredible story of Aisholpan, a 13-year-old girl living in northwestern Mongolia who becomes the titular figure. Hopeful and beautiful, the trailer shows off Aisolpan’s wild and true story with stunning cinematography and Ridley’s wonderful narration.
We said in our review, “While some of the music choices can feel too manipulative in certain climactic situations, and the direction a bit artificial, the underlying bravery and determination running through every scene of The Eagle Huntress makes it one of the year’s essential documentaries. Executive produced by Daisy Ridley, for any girl that found inspiration in Rey, Aisholpan offers a real-life, profoundly inspiring testament to disregard age-old societal constraints and forge ahead with your passion.”

Step aside Daenerys and Katniss, Aisholpan is a real life role model on an epic journey in a far away world. Follow this 13-year-old nomadic Mongolian girl as she battles to become the first female to hunt with a Golden Eagle in 2,000 years of male-dominated history.
The Eagle Huntress opens in limited release on October 28.
