Rule Breakers

Based on a true story, this movie tells the heart warming story of girls making great strides in STEM against all odds. I found the characters easy to connect with and we were cheering for them all along the way. Very inspiring, educational and also entertaining. Take your older kids/teens to help them understand life for teens in other countries. Beautiful story telling. We were quickly drawn into the lives of these young women. I came home and immediately texted a number of friends to tell them to go see it! It's a film to be enjoyed and experienced by people of all ages. You won't be disappointed !

Go and see this movie. It's insightful to know that we still live in a world where women are suppressed, but reminds all of us that do have freedoms that our freedoms were not easily won. Freedom requires a price and these girls from Afghanistan are a reminder of this fact. Today the Taliban now, once again, suppress the education of women in their country.

I would have loved it if they had included some small biographical info at the end of the movie about each of the women. They did do this for the organizer of the team,

The movie does start out a little slow. But picks up and you began to understand the risks they take and the courage required to pursue their dream.

I was struck by the perseverance of the Roya Mahboob character to bring education and technology these Afghani girls who live in a culture where women's opportunities are severely limited by the Taliban. The actors portraying the girls did an amazing job of making me feel the emotions the characters were expressing, particularly a bright hope that they could accomplish what many, if not most men, in their society believed was impossible. On a completely separate note, knowing that the United States has now abandoned Afghanistan conditions will likely be even worse for girls there. This is important story about freedom, especially for women. I sincerely hope that feminists support this movie.

A good movie about an inspiring true story. The oppression, challenges and attacks from the Taliban that were endured and overcome by this Afghanistan girls robotics team is inspiring. This brought to life the difficult reality of life in counties like Afghanistan which we see in only snippets on the news. It's amazing that in this day and age women continue to be marginalized by cowardice sects. The fact that they received the major award so recently in 2021 while still being oppressed makes this movie timely. Very good acting and overall production. This is another Angel Studios movie amplifying light in the world!

This movie brings understanding to the world of what even in this modern age how women in beautiful Afghanistan are kept from personal success and their happiness is denied by male role. The casting is excellent, and the world competitions are brilliantly covered. I loved seeing the robotics competitions, and all the nations coming together to participate and support each other united in the love of robotics. The quality of the film is very good, the acting is honest and real, emotionally relevant and the subject is so important. This is a story that needed to be shared, such a wonderful film.
