'Kite Runner' Boys Fear Afghan Backlash [opens in new window]

Zekeria, Ahmad and Ali have been plucked from their home in war-ravaged Kabul to star in "The Kite Runner," the long-awaited Hollywood film of Khaled Hosseini's bestselling novel.

Two were paid over $17,500 each while the other got around $13,700, their parents lost their jobs and they now fear they will be kidnapped or hounded out of Afghanistan because of a rape scene in the film.

"I want to continue making films and be an actor but the rape scene upset me because my friends will watch it and I won’t be able to go outside any more. They will think I was raped,” said Ahmad.

His careworn father, Ahmad Jan, fears his family will be shunned by fellow members of the Hazara population. The Hazaras have been persecuted for more than a century in Afghanistan, most brutally under the Taliban who massacred them for their Shi’ite Muslim faith.

"People will come and arrest us and put us in jail. They will think we’ve made the Hazara look bad," he said.

According to the boys and their parents, they loved acting in the film. Their three months spent filming in China were the first time they had felt truly safe and free to enjoy the things most western children take for granted, such as fairground rides.
