The public is invited to attend a free screening of "The Kite Runner," 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 21, in the auditorium of the Penn State Beaver Student Union Building. An open discussion with the audience will follow the film. The award-winning film from 2007 is based on author Khaled Hosseini's debut novel of the same name. The book and film tell the story of Amir, a young boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who befriends Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of Afghanistan's monarchy through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the rise of the Taliban regime.
