FILM: The Breadwinner

Source: Universal Pictures

Enjoy watching and discussing films about people in other cultures? Check out The Breadwinner, an animated film adapted from a best-selling young-adult novel/series by Deborah Ellis. It tells the story of Parvana, a young girl in Afghanistan who disguises herself as a boy in order to provide for her family. We discovered it through a review of the film from the International Mission Board. This is an animated feature but not for young children.

» Purchase or rent the film in several formats through Amazon. Download a study guide from the film’s website.
