Shining a ray of hope into one of the darker corners of recent history, the animated drama “The Breadwinner” is a powerful and heartwarming story of a girl persevering in a place where the mere act of being a girl could get one killed.
Parvana (voiced by Saara Chaudry) is an 11-year-old girl living in Kabul, Afghanistan, in the time when her country was controlled by the Taliban. She spends her day sitting in the market with her father, Nurullah (voiced by Ali Badshah), trying to sell what little they have so they can buy food for the family.
