Osama (2003) - 83 min

Country: Afghanistan
Director: Siddiq Barmak
Cast: Marina Golbahari, Arif Herati, Zubaida Sahar & Zabih ullah Frotan.
It tells the story of an Afghani girl who is forced to dress like a boy in order to get a job. Getting a job was easy for her, But things go awry when the Taliban army decides to recruit all the young boys for military training.
Through this movie Siddiq Barmak shows us how terrible were citizens life, especially women when Taliban army rules Afghanistan. The only way to survive in their was to be born as a boy. The budget of the movie was low and ends up being the highest grossing movie of Afghan. Technical side was not impressive and it was shot with the only 35mm camera available in Afghanistan at that time. Overall, it's a serious movie about women's struggle under the rule of the Taliban and it's terrifying.
Verdict: Good
