The Breadwinner

The animated movie The Breadwinner is an engrossing and powerful story that follows an 11-year-old girl in Afghanistan whose father is unjustly arrested under Taliban rule. To circumvent all the rules women must follow, the girl cuts her hair and disguises herself as a boy to support her family and rescue her father. The movie is animated like a storybook, bringing light and hope to a world that could use a little extra of both. The movie, which received nominations by the Academy Awards and Golden Globes, will screen at City of Asylum as part of the ongoing Sembène Film Festival.
