Film: The Kite Runner (2007)

Director: Marc Forster 

Adapted from Khaled Hosseini’s acclaimed novel, here is a beautiful story of lost friendship, guilt, forgiveness and healing. Young Amir is best friends with Hassan, the son of his family’s longtime and faithful servant. But when Hassan is assaulted by bullies, Amir turns coward in that moment only to carry guilt and sorrow for long into adulthood.  Roger Ebert’s 4-star review recalls the film’s memorable words, to wit: “There is a way to be good again.”
