Sokoliarstvo staré, prastaré umenie lovu s dravými vtákmi mnohými obdivované, inými zatracované. Otázka, kedy a kde presne sokoliarstvo vzniklo, zostane pravdepodobne este velmi dlho nezodpovedaná. Na základe dostupných vedomostí usudzujeme, ze lov pomocou vycvicených dravých vtákov existuje na Zemi viac ako 4000 rokov.
Dnesny zaujemca o lov pomocou sokoliarsky vycvicenych dravych vtakov musi mat platný polovny listok, absolvovat sokoliarsku skusku, ovladat a predovsetkym dodrziavat mnozstvo pravnych noriem upravujucich drzanie sokoliarsky pouzitelnych dravych vtakov.
Temou sokoliarstva sa zaobera aj pribeh sokoliara Tomasa z rovnomenneho slovenskeho koprodukcneho filmu, ktory bol natoceny podla novely J. C. Hronského. Rozprava o dospievajucom Tomasovi, chlapcovi so zazracnymi schopnostami ovladat zvierata. Tomasovi sa podarí skrotit si najmocnejsieho a najkrajsieho sokola v kraji, ktorý kedysi zachránil zivot královi Matúsovi. Tento bajny sokol je vo filme zobrazeny ako symbol slobody a nádeje. Pri natacani sa striedalo sest sokolov patriacich skupine Astur z Cerveného Kamena. Na Slovensku existuje niekolko dalsich sokoliarskych skupin, viac o nich a sokoliarstve ako takom si mozete precitat tu.
Film sa natacal v roznych lokalitach Slovenska a jednou z nich je aj oblast Sulova.
