The breadwinner is a dramatic animation, where a courageous 11 year old girl living in Afghanistan defends herself from Taliban , who took over in 2001. She gets away with it by using a disguise. The breadwinner is a heart-warming survival story, based on the original novel. This unique animation goes through a mix of emotions such as being intrigued and frightened to see what happens next. The main character, Parvana, sets of on a wild journey to save an important person in her life from a different perspective before a grand war breaks out. This story includes a brave, protective big sister, a proud but worried mother, an old school teacher and father who also fought in the last war and finally an older brother that has an amazing story to be told after a devastating disaster. In my opinion, I think that this film is one of a kind which is one of the reason I like it so much,it is very different to others a have viewed
