Recommended DVD: "Osama" (not the bin Laden type)

Posted by Bible Probe on December 23, 2005 at 21:01:52:

This is not about Osama bin Ladin. But it is about the sort of society bin Ladin and Islam want to impose on the entire world. It takes a look at what it is like to be alive in Afghanistan when the Taliban were in power. The problem is, the Taliban were no aberration. The Taliban and their atrocities is what Islam (true Islam) desires to oppose on the entire world. It happens everywhere these murderous Imams and Mullahs take over.

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 male "legal companion." With her husband and brother dead, killed in battle, there is no one left to support the family. 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 fall of the Taliban.
