Thread Name: BS: Buddha collapsed out of shame
Subject: RE: BS: Buddha collapsed out of shame
The motion picture was first released in 2007 as Buda as sharm foru rikht, about a young girl who wants to go to school to learn to read and write. It was released in Europe in 2008 as "Buddha Collapsed Out of Shame." It concerns the Taliban attitude (and that of many other Afghans) to the education of women, and the difficulties and frustrations of a girl who wants to learn.
The film is Iranian. What Buddha has to do with Muslim Afghanistan, I don't know.
The DVD of the film is coded for Region 2, not compatible with North American equipment unless the DVD player is 'all-region' (I bought one, I wanted to watch Tintin and other European films). About $100 from an internet supplier.
The DVD may be purchased from amazon.fr, but wait a while and it will probably show up coded for N. Am.
