Here are 3 descriptions of the film:
- An Afghani man, now living in America, returns to Afghanistan to find a child. In doing so, he hopes to find forgiveness for choices he made when he was young. However, the Afghanistan he returns to is now controled by the Taliban, and finding the child becomes a rescue mission.
- An epic tale of fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, that takes us from the final days of Afghanistan’s monarchy to the atrocities of the present. After spending years in California, Amir returns to his homeland in Afghanistan to help his old friend Hassan, whose son is in trouble. Based on the novel “The Kite Runner” by Khaled Hosseini.
- A Great Tale (giving 4.5 stars)
Beautifully shot. Wonderful story. A rare insight into Afghani culture - beyond the view we receive from commercial news. A story that carries through times in history that seem far away yet are not. Has encouraged an appreciation of the wonderful world of kite flying! Simply, a must see.
Rated: [M] Moderate themes and violence, infrequent moderate coarse language.
Please come along — bring your friends — see an important film and give us your support.
