This is a fantastic story of love, loyalty, betrayal and redemption. A story of two young boys, Amir rich and Kassan poor, that are inseparable and make a great kite flying team. Amir the flyer and Kassan the Kite Runner.

Inseparable, until one day an unthinkable act tears them apart. Now many years later Amir gets a call from Rahim, his father's business partner and a man Amir has great respect for, asking for his help. Rahim tells Amir things are real bad in Afghanistan with the Taliban and he needs to return "there is a way to be good again". Amir knows what Rahim is referring to and leaves for Pakistan. It is there Amir will be faced with the greatest challenge of his life.

The three boys playing Amir, Kassan and Sochar, were born in Afghanistan lived in Kabul. They all speak Dari (Persian) and were seasoned kite fliers. Others in the movie had to learn Dari to say their lines. For security reasons the boys and their relatives now live in the United Arab Emigrates. Paramount agreed to pay their living expenses until they become adults.

This movie is Highly Recommended.

Atonement, has the same theme, lovalty, love, betrayal and redemption and is also Highly Recommended.
