Based on Khaled Hosseini’s acclaimed novel, The Kite Runner is an emotional tale of friendship, family, devastating mistakes and redeeming love. Amir is best friends with Hassan, the son of his father’s servant, despite the differences in their background and class. But jealousy leads him to betray Hassan’s friendship twice over, and send him away from the house. Amir grows up and moves to America. Only years later does a chance phone call force Amir to confront his past and return to his war-torn homeland.
