Flying with eagles

Description

Louise Crandal is twice winner of the world paragliding championships. Now she has set a new goal for herself: a Russian Steppe eagle is to be her new training partner in the air. We follow the intense and unpredictable training process from the day Louise finds Cossack, the untrained Steppe eagle in Scotland, to months later as the two hang from a paraglider above Lake Como. Will Cossack fly with his partner? Will he show her where the thermals are, and how to gain height without as much as a beat of his wings?
