The Breadwinner (Nora Twomey, 2017)

In Taliban-controlled Afghanistan in 2001, a young girl challenges social norms by dressing as a boy in order to support her family after her father is arrested. Winner of the Los Angeles Film Critics Best Animated Feature award, The Breadwinner is an unflinching portrait of triumph in adversity that employs the beauty of animation to expose the ugliest of truths. A film that reminds us that the power of stories is to suggest that the world has not always been the way it is now. Free and open to the public.
