FEATURED REVIEW
Ariel Scotti, New York Daily News
It may seem easier to scale one of the steep, snowy peaks of the Altai Mountains of Mongolia than surmount centuries worth of traditional gender roles in the region. But 13-year-old Aisholpan, the cherub-faced star of the documentary, "The Eagle Huntress," did just that.
