Breathtaking film including a great song by Sia, "Angel by the Wings". Would have liked to see more cultural discussions, such as: a) Why was English the predominant language spoken in school (that area borders Russia and China)?, b) A language which almost sounds Slavic-based is occasionally heard but the language of the natives is a mystery and an explanation of the derivation would have been appreciated, c) Ashol-Pan's family seem to respect devout Islamic traditions, but there is no discussion of the predominant religions or philosophies. That said, it is a wonderful, inspiring story and a look into life of modern day Mongolia/Kazakh with its lingering rural roots.

Asholpan is a brave, brilliant young girl. The cinematography in this film is breathtaking. Watch this movie on the biggest screen you can to fully appreciate it.

Loved it... BEAUTIFUL scenery.. inspiring story..
