Regardless how I might personally feel about over consumption, hedonism, and the glory of obsessive compulsive spending...that is meaningless self imposed opinion. As a documentary the film is well executed, well-authored and exposes the unconscious pleasures in exotic pets. I wish that had been some history to contextulise the facination with falcons. Needless it is a well produced well told story.

Rich Boys with Expensive Toys
sarocky-7255319 April 2017
Consider, if you will, a desert gathering of spoiled, rich Frat boys, playing with their extremely expensive cars, dune buggies, Harley choppers, and exotic pets, including hunting Falcons. Oh, and every 20 seconds someone says "God wills it!" I suppose there must be a backstory on the history and culture of Saudi Falconry here, but the filmmaker doesn't bother to explain it. Nice visuals, if you like sand.
