Osama

In Afghanistan, during the Taliban regime, women are forbidden to work and to walk on the streets without the company of a male. Because there is no man in her family to support her old mother, the teenager girl Osama cuts her hair and dresses like a boy to get a job and support her widow mother and grandmother. Osama disguises as a boy and joins the school and military training. Osama tries to keep the Taliban from finding out her true identity. The most important thing that the film shows is there are women in Afghanistan that are literally treated not just like property, but like animals.
