Rule Breakers

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 had not heard a single thing about this movie but saw it was playing. I watched the trailer and it looked pretty good. I never expected it to be as amazing as it was! This story deserved to be told, and it connects people to Afghanistan in a totally different way than most are used to. I feel it's a must see, for the whole family. My heart hurts for the way they have lived for so long, even worse since 2021. Those children, women, people, deserve so much better! We can always be blessed that great minds can connect the entire world in a way that most people can never connect too. Thanks for making this movie, ill be suggesting it to everyone I talk too!

Watched at AMC on 3-8-2025 with Nicole.

The RULE BREAKERS movie was so good, so real, made me cry with joy! The passion of international competition is evident / the perils of woman in AFGHANISTAN is real, the acting is fabulous, the true story makes you realize we are so blessed to live in America. You need to see this movie. To understand the struggle women experience in another country will make you a better person... I thought robotics would be boring, but instead the writers bring science to life. You laugh, you cry you are inspired. Take your teenagers! Take your daughters! The reality of the story comes to life. I googled " robotic teams ".

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.

This is the very inspiring story of an Afghan woman who faced unbelievable obstacles. In a war-torn country that devalues women, she showed the world that determination and chutzpah can work miracles.

The acting was incredible and the story flowed well. I was immediately pulled into her world. I celebrated each small triumph with her, and cried alongside her with each setback. I was reluctant to see the end of the film. I wanted more of the story!

The scenery is gorgeous. I particularly enjoyed seeing the sites along the way. I would have liked seeing more of the p places she went.

Overall, this is a strong story, and one I will not soon forget.
