LOS ANGELES- Donning a different mantle from her breakout central role in the "Star Wars: The Force Awakens", British actress Daisy Ridley took to the red carpet as both narrator and executive producer for the documentary "The Eagle Huntress". The story of a 13-year-old girl who trains to become the first female eagle hunter in Kazakhstan in decades, "The Eagle Huntress" stars a young Kazakh girl called Aisholpan, who also attended the premiere, a new experience for her. "The first time I saw myself in the movie I was very excited to see it," Aisholpan explained. "It was funny and interesting but I didn't know it was going to be that big."
