OSAMA
Afghanistan 2003 (12A) - 83 minutes Ipswich Film Theatre -
22 November 2004
- 7.30pm
A 12 year old girl is casually given the name "Osama" to pass her off as a boy so she can earn money for her mother whose work as a doctor is forbidden by the repressive Taliban regime. The suspense is tangible as we empathise with "Osama" and her final unforgettable situation.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS:
Amazing achievement. So much told in so few words;
A very menacing film. I felt physically cold and numb at the end of this;
Heartbreaking. What more can you say;
Powerful. A numbing portrayal of inhumanity;
Uncomfortable yet compulsive viewing.
