Osama (spoilers)

Saw the movie Osama which describes life in Afghanistan under Taliban. Pretty good movie, although obviously sad. A young girl (12-13 years old), her mother and grandmother have a big but apparently common problem: women are not allowed to work, men are supposed to provide for them and keep them at home, but all the men in the family have died in wars. The grandma comes up with the idea of getting the girl to pretend to be a boy. The girl is rather reluctant for fear of being caught, and for a good reason.

I don't know how accurate their description of life in Afghanistan is, but at times it's rather absurd: Taliban attack women who are outside without being escorted by a male relative, but when a woman is outside with a man they don't bother to check whether the man is really the woman's relative.
