Alice has recommended the film The Kite Runner (2007).
Description:
After spending years in California, Amir returns to his homeland in Afghanistan to help his old friend Hassan, whose son is in trouble. Based on the best-selling novel by Khaled Hosseini.
Be aware the film involves incidents of abuse that make it inappropriate for children.
Where to Watch:
Kite Runner is currently only available on Kanopy, which states "back for a limited time". This may mean it is only available until 10/31, and since it is not available elsewhere you might want to watch it soon.

Trivia:
Khaled Hosseini's second novel, A Thousand Splendid Suns, is about a mother and daughter in Afghanistan rather than a father and son as with The Kite Runner. A Thousand Splendid Suns has been adapted into an opera by the Seattle Opera company. Its world premiere will be in February 2023.
