So, 'Onward' from 2016 is this engaging documentary that dives really deep into the life of Konki and his family, entrenched in the eagle hunting tradition of Western Mongolia. The Altai Mountains provide such a stunning backdrop that almost feels alive, and the pacing is a nice blend of contemplative moments and the action of the hunt itself. You get a real sense of the pride and heritage, and the way they interact with these magnificent birds is something I haven't seen captured so authentically before. The performances are almost raw; you really feel their connection to the land and their craft. It’s not often you see such a mix of tradition and modernity explored with such respect.
