Balapan — Wings of Altai France, 2006, 52 minutes
In the Deloun valley in western Mongolia, Sheik Pawli struggles to keep his herds safe from hungry wolves. This year, winter has been particularly rough and an unusually large number of wolves have been roaming around the villages. If the people of the valley don’t fight back, their herds will disappear and they too will die. Sheik Pawli, the famous eagle master, gathers all the breeders of the steppe who own golden eagles in order to organize a large wolf hunt to protect their herds. |
