Why watch this film?
'The Breadwinner' is an inspiring and vibrantly animated tale about the power of stories to sustain hope and carry us through dark times. Parvana is an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001.
"A beautiful animation, very well made - expressive, exuberant and full of details. The movie deals with a serious matter, which is the domination of women during the Taliban regime, with subtlety and intelligence. Besides knowing more about it, we reflect on what it must be like living in a radical country, with an extremist government and how difficult it is to be a woman in this scenario."
