“The Breadwinner” Gets Home Release Date

Bring home the bacon!

With My Entire High School Singing In the Sea and Loving Vincent also having been released within the last couple of weeks, you’re pretty close to collecting every one of our top ten animated films of 2017 with the now announced release date for the Academy Award-nominated The Breadwinner set for iTunes Feb 20, and DVD/BD March 6.

The Breadwinner is an inspiring and vibrantly animated tale about the power of stories to sustain hope and carry us through dark times. Parvana is an 11-year-old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy in order to support her family. Working alongside her friend Shauzia, Parvana discovers a new world of freedom – and danger. With undaunted courage, Parvana draws strength from the fantastical stories she invents as she embarks on a quest to find her father and reunite her family.
