The film “Wings of Change – The Eagle Hunter Woman of Mongolia” by Zeitenspiegel author Carsten Stormer has been honored with a Bronze award at the New York Festivals & Film Awards.
The renowned award goes to Carsten for accompanying a teenager in the Altai Mountains. Here's the brief description:
A fifteen-year-old Mongolian girl wants to prove to her male competitors that women can also hunt with eagles. To achieve her goal, the young Aibota and her father train daily with the nomadic family's golden eagle on the slopes of the Altai Mountains in the Mongolian province of Bayan-Ölgii. It is the story of a brave girl who wants to prove herself in a male-dominated tradition. The eagle hunters of Mongolia are the guardians of an almost forgotten tradition. This custom has always been passed down from father to son. The custom is considered a proud family heritage in which women have little place. Will Aibota achieve her goal of becoming an eagle hunter? Can she prove to her uncle, her classmates, and of course, herself, that she is the equal of men?
