Texto del Guión Gráfico
- POWER OF AN EDUCATION
- FAMILY
- COURAGE
- Amal realizes at a young age that education is one of the keys to achieving her dreams for the future. She loves to read and learn and wishes to be a teacher some day. Even when she is forced to live on the estate, she finds a way to continue her education by sneaking books from the library and teaching young Fatima to read.
- Amal is shocked when she realizes that Nasreen Baji has not seen her family in years. Family and her bond with her sisters and parents is very important to Amal. When she is sent to live on the estate, she misses her freedom and her opportunity to read and continue her education, but she misses her family most of all.
- Amal shows tremendous courage when she stands up to the Khan family that has ruled her village for centuries. She sees herself as not having a choice. However, in making the choice to do what is right despite the risks to herself and her family, she shows incredible bravery without realizing it.
- GENDER DISCRIMINATION
- AMAL UNBOUND THEMES
- INDENTURED SERVITUDE
- Amal is surprised that her family and neighbors are disappointed when her mother gives birth to another girl. Boys are favored in Amal's society and receive more opportunities in education, jobs, and in determining their own destinies. Women in Pakistan and all over the world continue the fight for gender equality.
- Indentured servitude is illegal in the U.S., Pakistan, and in most countries. Despite this, the unjust use of forced labor to pay off debts is still widespread in some countries like Pakistan. In Amal's case, even though her family did everything they could to raise enough money to pay the debt, it was not enough. Jawad Sahib charged his servants for room and board and so debt was never able to be paid off.
