Video: Amir betrays Hassan but Hassan sacrifices for him

Amir’s actions have snowballed him into betraying Hassan. It all started when he watches Hassan get raped by Assef, and was too cowardly to stop him. The guilt of his actions led to Amir being rude to Hassan, and not considering him as a friend.  Amir then accuses Hassan of stealing his watch and money, making them move out of the house. The past always claws its way out.
