Overview:
During the Taliban regime, women were not allowed to work or to leave their homes without a male relative. This meant that widows, with no brothers or male cousins, could not venture out in public to even feed their families. This situation, which is part of the story of "Osama", was a reality for people living under Taliban.
A 12 year old Afghan girl and her mother lose their jobs when the Taliban closes the hospital where they work. The Taliban have also forbidden women to leave their houses without a "legal companion". With her husband and brother dead, there is no one left to support the family, and without being able to leave the house, the mother is left with nowhere to turn. Feeling that she has no other choice, she disguises her daughter as a boy. Now called Osama, the girl embarks on a terrifying and confusing journey as she tries to keep the Taliban from finding out her true identity.
Inspired by a true story, "Osama" is the first entirely Afghan film shot since the rise and fall of the Taliban.
