Synopsis
Synopsis of “Bhutto” “As the first woman to lead an Islamic nation, former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto’s life unfolds like a Greek tragedy. Her family’s wealth, political prominence and penchant for controversy have led many to call the Bhutto’s “The Kennedy’s of Pakistan.” Educated at Harvard and Oxford, and handed the mantle of her murdered father’s political party over the head of her eldest brother, Benazir Bhutto evolved from pampered princess to polarizing politician battling tradition and terrorism in the world’s only nuclear armed Islamic country. Using never publically heard audio tapes to creating the haunting illusion that Benazir is narrating the film from the grave, Bhutto is a sweeping epic of a transcendent, controversial leader whose legacy will be debated for generations to come.”
