Bhutto

Labels:


Bhutto

The acclaimed new film by Duane Baughman about the life and intrepid political career of Benazir Bhutto. BHUTTO casts an unblinking lens on the ascent of the first woman ever elected to lead a Muslim state and uncovers the slippery mechanisms and murderous politics that define modern day Pakistan.

From the heart-pounding opening sequence, BHUTTO unravels for the viewer a Pakistan flailing in the throes of Jihad. With a population of 180 million, of which 97% is Muslim, 50% of the country is under 18 years old. And sadly, 60% of its citizens live on under $2 a day. The sixth largest country in the world, this South Asian nation is a powder-keg with an arsenal of 90 nuclear warheads and an average of three terrorist attacks a week since Bhutto’s death in 2007.
