The Breadwinner

This is a special screening and fundraiser for CISV Toronto. Ticket includes CISV Intro, Feature Film “The Breadwinner” & a small popcorn

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.
