About the MovieThe Kite Runneron DVD:
Adapted from Khaled Hosseini's bestselling novel, much of this drama is set in Afghanistan and a lot of the dialogue is in Dari (with English subtitles). The cast is made up of actors of Middle Eastern ancestry who are not well known to the English-speaking public. The early part of the story takes place in Kabul before the Soviet invasion and is about two 12-year-old boys. One of them is the privileged Amir, and the other is Hassan, a family servant. A nasty incident occurs, and Amir betrays Hassan. Amir eventually moves to the US, but years later he returns to Afghanistan and has a chance at redemption.
