The mysterious art of falconry and it's universal kinship has endured with mankind for more than 4000 years, tying people to people and present to past. The falcon remains constant, reminding us that in our depths, we too remain steady, tied together through our humanity and to our past. Through lyrical voice honoring an Arabic poem, the legend of Desert Falcon, a rich, historical allegory with travel and adventure, tells the story of Rashid, a Bedouin boy who witnesses his father's murder in the heart of the desert. He journeys through a new life of discovery to an uncle he never knew and learns that he has a gift for the ancient art of falconry. His story and his gift earn him the admiration of a mysterious sheikh and secret assistance of his enigmatic youngest child. Fortified by a caravan leader's tale of warriors and mercenaries and the legend of a lost tribe of an honorable brotherhood, Rashid faces down his father's killer with the one sacred falcon that would be his key into their world, and teaches us to question the drive for what we desire against the heart of who we truly are.
