Synopsis:
After the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan and the restriction of women in public life, a pre-teen girl is forced to masquerade as a boy in order to find work to support her mother and grandmother.
Quick Thoughts:
I haven’t had the chance to watch “Osama” yet – but it’s on my watch list! Once I’m able to give it a viewing, I’ll add my thoughts here. However, I picked it for two reasons: the first is that it depicts a woman trying to survive in a man’s world, and because I’m intrigued because it’s set in Afghanistan during the rule of the Taliban. It’s not exactly a queer storyline though, other than the cross-dressing element, but I’ve included it because it’s not done for comedy but to survive. Something that every trans persons has to deal with.
