American Taliban:
The John Walker Story
Val Kilmer spent a year with the Taliban
to research the role of John Walker, the Californian
who defied his country to fight behind enemy lines.
In full bearded glory, this is Walker’s story,
from his carefree California youth to his conversion
to Islam, and subsequent arrest to the televised military
trail. When Walker is offered a hundred million dollars
to write his memoris, he is thrown into moral conflict.
See how Walker deals with fame and fortune when Oprah
selects his book for her next Book Club show.
Dr Phil makes a cameo appearance as a life
coach who helps Walker prioritize his life.
Forbidden Love: An Afghan Love
Story
Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di
Caprio play star-crossed lovers in this epic
tale of the young Afghans whose love is against the
law of the land. With Dr Zhivago-style montages and
a stirring film score by John Williams,
they defy religious restrictions to carry on a religious
love affair. Leo braves wearing a burqa in a hilarious
scene in order to catch glimpses of his love in the
market place, but can their love survive when he is
forced to grow a beard, completely destroying his boyish
good looks?
