The Kite RunnerIt's been critically acclaimed as both an amazing book and movie. Contrary to the seemingly harmless title, this movie deals with a lot of serious issues. Two childhood friends are torn apart by a country in a war, while one moves away to America and the other is left behind. Amid the strife, these friends find one another again and attempt to try and see a brighter future for Afghanistan. This one is good if your mom is interested in foreign affairs.
