| Five years ago, Hamida Alami -- a widow and in her 70’s -- was living in a homeless camp in Kabul, Afghanistan. That’s where an Afghan filmmaker discovered her and put her in the movies. After more than 30 productions, she’s known all over Afghanistan as “Grandma Hamida.” Her most prominent role is in the movie “The Kite Runner.” Despite her fame, she doesn’t have much to show for it. She still lives with six family members in a tent outside Kabul with no water and no electricity. Fariba Nawa reports. |
