"Osama" the movie
Anyone seen the movie yet? I just did a search on Amazon and didn't get anything. Must not be out yet on DVD or Video.
In case you haven't heard of it here is a little write up about it:
The film is ``Osama,'' the first full-length feature made in post-Taliban Afghanistan. Director Siddiq Barmak returned to his native land to tell the fictional story of a young girl who disguises herself as a boy named Osama.
The reason? Her father is dead, and her family is hungry; the only way she can work in the Taliban's fanatical society is by pretending to be male.
The haunting film, which one hopes will appear in video stores soon, depicts an exceptionally brutal society run by religious zealots who treat women as slaves. from The News-Sentinel
