That's a wonderful documentary. I liked the slow motion shot of them lapsing into showing their exhaustion after they are out of sight of the audience after a performance. I also liked how it shows the anxiety & pressure of getting your rigging set up safely under the time constraints of a looming show time.
Nice recording of the performance too, all the better for the lack of music & audience applause. The creak & strain of the rigging & the hearty slaps of a solid catch were very satisfying.
I wasn't that taken with the characterisation though. I just think there's more to being an eagle than darting head movements & periodically going EEERK!
