3 Reasons ‘Rule Breakers’ Is a Feel-Good Film You Can’t Miss

Roya is a determined girl with a thirst for knowledge, a passion for learning, and a desire to master everything there is to know about computers. Her ambition would be celebrated in most of the world. Yet, in her home country of Afghanistan, her aspirations are met with resistance. Education in Afghanistan is — primarily — for boys. Afghan girls can attend school … but only through sixth grade. Such Taliban-inspired rules are heartbreaking for Roya, who desires to break free from societal limitations.When computers are introduced into her school’s classroom in the 1990s, the teacher asks Roya and the other girls to leave. “Girls, outside,” he orders.But as Roya grows older, her determination to learn only strengthens. One day, she notices a row of public computers in a local shop. The owner bought them to charge customers for use, yet he himself doesn’t even know how to turn them on. She offers him a deal: If he lets her use them for one hour each morning before the shop opens, then she, in turn, will teach him. He agrees.Roya transforms into a computer wizard. Now, though, she is determined to teach other girls how to use them, too.The new Angel Studios movie Rule Breakers (PG) follows Roya as she pushes back against societal norms and ignores death threats to teach countless Afghan girls how to use what the rest of the world takes for granted: computers. Then, in order to attract worldwide attention, she enters the brightest students into a competition involving homemade robots — a competition that could take them to Europe and even the United States.”It’ll show our girls in a new light,” she says. Here are three things about this film that will inspire you. Photo Credit: ©Angel Studios
