" because some of its scenes are questionable and unacceptable for some people and would cause sensitiveness and would cause trouble for the government and people." "On the basis of the instruction of the Information and Culture Ministry, the Kite Runner film's depiction and import has been banned," said Latif Ahmadi, the head of state-run Afghan Film. The Afghan government, whose power does not extend much beyond the main cities, then banned the film, sending prices of pirate copies soaring. Protests erupted last year after pirate copies of another film, The Kabul Express which was seen as anti-Hazara, made their way into the multi-ethnic country. Paramount Vantage released the film last month after delays due to the extraordinary precautions taken to address concerns about the film's depiction of one boy's rape and other scenes of conflict between members of Pashtun and Hazara tribes. The US studio behind The Kite Runner - a film based on the 2003 best-selling novel by US-based Afghan author Khaled Hosseini - last year had to get its three young stars out of their homeland before the movie debut to protect them from a possible backlash. Afghanistan has banned the import and exhibition of The Kite Runner, a film about the troubled friendship of two Afghan boys, on the grounds that it could incite violence.
