About this movie

Parvana is an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy in order to support her family. Working alongside her friend Shauzia, Parvana discovers a new world of freedom-and danger. With undaunted courage, Parvana draws strength from the fantastical stories she invents, as she embarks on a quest to find her father and reunite her family.

So glad this movie got made. Tough times shown here and my kids (6yo girl and 9yo boy) had tons of questions but said it was the best movie they've seen in a long time. Amazing story, characters, attention to detail and soundtrack.
