thekiterunner_dvd.jpgThe story of friendship is universal. How one person selflessly opens their heart and soul to another is quite a feat. But imagine doing all of this in an area where murder and rape are commonplace.
 
This is the story behind the Kite Runner.
 
In the film two boys from two very different backgrounds manage to forge a brotherhood in the old Afghanistan. Back before the entrance of the Taliban, Afghanistan was a different place. Amir and Hassan (master and slave) share a passion for storytelling and kite running.

They are inseparable, and for a while it seems as if they will be like that for eternity. Then life enters in. Amir is incapable of defending himself and as a result, leaves Hassan to do his bidding. But when Hassan makes the ultimate sacrifice for his best friend, will their friendship last?

War and years of distance threaten to rip these two apart, but does real friendship ever die? Many years later, their paths will cross again, but not as they had expected. And when family secrets are revealed, Amir must do all that he can to make things right with Hassan. Can he uphold his end of the friendship, or will he remain a coward?

This film, directed by Marc Forster (Finding Neverland and Monster’s Ball), is a tear-jerking depiction of what war and reckless dictators can do to a country and its people. It’s a definite must-see, but be prepared to cry, laugh, and have your rose-colored glasses removed.
