The Kite Runner

A rich, sensitive and heart-warming film about two childhood friends in Kabul and how they respond in different ways to evil.  Their choices and their consequences follow them into adulthood and don't go away.  The excellent story is complemented by rich views of Afghan life before and during the Taliban takeover, and of the life of Afghan immigrants to the U.S.  

Highly recommended; newly released on DVD.
