One World Film Festival presents a screening of "The Eagle Huntress"
The 2016 documentary "The Eagle Huntress" follows Aisholpan, a 13-year-old girl, as she trains to become the first female in twelve generations of her Kazakh family to become an eagle hunter, and rises to the pinnacle of a tradition that has been handed down from father to son for centuries.
About the One World Film Festival:
Now in its 22nd year, Lexington's annual One World Film Festival presents a series of free films focusing on complex societal issues surrounding culture, society, ethnicity, gender and politics, with the intent of encouraging in-depth thinking about such issues. Films range from documentaries to feature films, with screenings occasionally followed by discussions about the issues brought up in the films. All screenings are free and open to the public. Screenings generally take place Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings at the Kentucky Theatre over the course of a month, with this year's dates falling on Feb. 9-March 14.
