Kristen is back in peak Kiki form, and we couldn't be happier to present this episode on the gorgeous 2016 documentary "The Eagle Huntress," featuring our amazing friend Bolor Lkhaajav! From the Sony Classics synopsis: "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."
