The Breadwinner

A headstrong young girl in Afghanistan, ruled by the Taliban, disguises herself as a boy in order to provide for her family.

Review: The Breadwinner

“Raise your words, not your voice. It is rain that makes the flowers grow, not thunder.” The closing words spoken by Parvana, an Afghan girl forced to become a boy in order to provide for her family and rescue her father, speak of gentleness over force.
