Product Information
Set in 20th-century Afghanistan, THE KITE RUNNER is a fascinating tale of two boys, united by their love of kite flying, divided by tragic circumstances.

Years later and continents apart, Amir seeks to make amends for his cowardly behaviour... even if that means risking his own life.

Additional Information
Based on the international bestseller by Khaled Hosseini, THE KITE RUNNER is a fascinating historical epic set in 20th-century Afghanistan. In 1978, Amir (Zekiria Ebrahimi) and Hassan (Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada) are young boys living in Kabul, where Hassan and his father, Ali (Nabi Tanha), work as servants for Amir and his father, Baba (Homayoun Ershadi). Amir and Hassan make an excellent team in kite competitions, with Hassan having a gift for running kites, but after one contest, he is bullied by Assef (Elham Ehsas), who does unspeakable things to him as Amir watches from a distance and then runs away, not helping his friend. As the Russians and then the Taliban take over Afghanistan, Baba and Amir escape to America, where they make a new home in San Francisco. But even as he graduates from college and meets a beautiful young woman, Soraya (Atossa Leoni), who is also from Kabul, Amir (now played by Khalid Abdalla) is haunted by his cowardice and can't turn down an opportunity to try to make things right when it is offered by his father's old friend Rahim Khan (Shaun Toub)--even if it means risking his life. THE KITE RUNNER was adapted for the screen by David Benioff (THE 25TH HOUR), with much of the dialogue spoken in Dari, one of the primary languages in Afghanistan. Director Marc Foster (MONSTER'S BALL, FINDING NEVERLAND) does a deft job navigating the complicated story, which moves from Afghanistan to San Francisco and Pakistan (with much of the film actually shot in China), using many nonprofessional actors and a subtle score composed by Alberto Iglesias. Ebrahimi and Mahmoodzada make impressive debuts, with solid work by Abddalla, Leoni, and especially Ershadi.
Reviews
Entertainment Weekly - It's a big saga....The challenge invigorates Marc Forster....A sense of reserve turns out to be a useful tool for peace, Hollywood Reporter - The film feels totally convincing in all its technical aspects, including its use of Chinese locations to double for the story's Afghan setting, Total Film - The film deftly spans the cruelty of Afghan history, from the Soviet invasion to Taliban desolation, delivering an absorbing snapshot of the country's deep-rooted customs, Empire - [Foster is] a master of finding the strong, warm pulse of humanity in any script through the performances he teases from his cast....Zekeria Ebrahimi emanates an intelligence and sensitivity that belies his age..., Sunday Mirror - A fascinating and gripping tale, Variety - Nuanced perfs and standout production design convey story in cinematic terms, preserving the narrative's emotional power and historical sweep as it spans continents and decades
