**THE BREADWINNER** (2019)

Once upon a time, there was Parvana, a girl who wanted to save her father, imprisoned by the Taliban because he taught his daughter to read and write. In the dark kingdom of Afghan Islamic fundamentalists, Parvana cuts her long hair and wears boys' clothes to remain unnoticed, support her family, and find her father, a war veteran who lost a leg against the Soviets.
Like the children in Vittorio De Sica's films, Parvana gazes at us. She looks the world straight in the eyes, standing up to the Taliban's obscurantism with the power of ancient stories, insensitive to the assaults of the present time.
An eleven-year-old raised in Kabul under the Taliban regime, Parvana is the new cause championed by Angelina Jolie. Created by Deborah Ellis (“The Breadwinner”) and brought to the screen by Nora Twomey, she is the protagonist of a trilogy, an animated tale about women's empowerment and imagination against oppression. Because the challenges for Parvana, like those for every Afghan girl, begin at dawn in their lives. At four, they no longer play with dolls because they are already taking care of their siblings; at seven, they are considered almost fully grown adults, nearly expert housewives, and soon-to-be-wives who will give birth when their Western peers are just beginning to dream of love. On the other hand, Afghanistan holds two of the most tragic records: maternal mortality on one side and the production of martyrs on the other. An ancient scourge and a curse of the modern age.
By idealistically adopting another daughter, who has the green eyes of Steve McCurry's 'Afghan girl,' Angelina Jolie 'raises the veil' on Afghan girls and produces a film that denounces gender discrimination and the lack of children's rights. She promotes and supports an animated cinema that often finds the right voice to forcefully express the harshness of life under extremist regimes, the voice of a cold fury that combines lyricism and humanism.
Produced by Angelina Jolie and the creators of the Oscar-nominated The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, the film is based on Deborah Ellis's bestseller. Show less
