This movie is supposed to be based on a true story. It's really quite frightening to see just what kind of lives people were living in Afghanistan during this time. There are no doctors, people receive healing through rituals which are supposed to frighten away evil spirits. Women are frequently abused, they are viewed as being inferior, like slaves.
The whole movie follows this Indian woman Sushmita and her attempts to flee the country with her daughter. The Taliban want to kill her because she is an "infidel" and is "spreading lies". It's really a pretty good movie. But being over 2 and a half hours long, it does get kind of tiring after a while. With all Indian movies, try not to get lost during the musical parts. It makes me happy to know what a good decision it was when the free world united to remove the Taliban.
