Drama The Kite Runner (12A) is screening at Kingsbridge's Reel Cinema next month.

The film, which is directed by Marc Foster, will show at the town's only cinema from February 1 to February 7.

Based on the best selling book by Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner is a profoundly emotional tale of friendship, family, devastating mistakes and redeeming love.

In a divided country on the verge of war, two childhood friends, Amir and Hassan, are about to be torn apart forever.

It's a glorious afternoon in Kabul and the skies are bursting with the exhilarating joy of a kite-fighting tournament. But in the aftermath of the day’s victory, one boy's fearful act of betrayal will mark their lives forever and set in motion an epic quest for redemption.

Now, after 20 years of living in America, Amir returns to a perilous Afghanistan under the Taliban’s iron-fisted rule to face the secrets that still haunt him and take one last daring chance to set things right.

Other upcoming releases at the Reel Cinema include Sweeney Todd (18), Closing the Ring (12A) and I Am Legend (15).
