“A beautifully rendered work of animation that tells a powerful story, it is a standout in the field and would certainly have been a favorite to land a nomination at any point over the last decade.” -The Wrap

“The Breadwinner proves nothing short of exceptional, celebrating as it does a young woman who faces adversity head-on — and who relies on her own creativity, both as a storyteller and in practical situations, to adapt to whatever obstacles she faces.”
- Peter DeBruge, Variety

“The Breadwinner is worth celebrating.” - Glenn Kenney, New York Times

"Great for families. Gorgeously animated but unflinching tale of a young girl's courage under Taliban rule...The Breadwinner blends folklore with realisma nd ultimately shows how children are far braver tahn some might think. Recommended for ages 11+"
- Common Sense Media

GOLDEN GLOBE NOMINEE: Best Motion Picture - Animated
ANNIE AWARDS NOMINEE: Best Animated Feature

From executive producer Angelina Jolie and the creators of the Academy Award®-nominated The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea, comes the highly-anticipated new feature based on Deborah Ellis’ bestselling novel. Parvana is an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy in order to support her family. Working alongside her friend Shauzia, Parvana discovers a new world of freedom–and danger. With undaunted courage, Parvana draws strength from the fantastical stories she invents, as she embarks on a quest to find her father and reunite her family. Equal parts thrilling and enchanting, The Breadwinner is an inspiring and luminously animated tale about the power of stories to sustain hope and carry us through dark times.
