Today and through this documentary you will be getting a crash course in falconry, an art form that stretches back to 5,500 years when the first Arab trained the first wild falcon on values of trust, loyalty and mutual quest for survival. 
Today, in an effort to revive this cultural legacy, Saudi Arabia is celebrating falconry through a racing event like no other with entertainment and cultural exchange at the heart of it all.
