Bhutto: You Can't Murder a Legacy

There are two reasons to see Duane Baughman's and Johnny O'hara's gripping documentay Bhutto.

1) The film tells the life story of the assassinated Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto—the first woman in history to lead a Muslim nation. It also covers key moments in Pakistan’s history—including the United States’ storied involvement with this British-created nation. The film’s production is of top quality, and the scope of Bhutto’s life is no less than epic.

2) Bhutto’s personal life and political career would make a sensational large-budget narrative film. Given the global jihad that shows no signs of dissipating, that film cannot happen. If anyone even dared to start, terrorist threats would stop it in development.

The First Run Features disc is your opportunity to go—in less than two hours—behind the headlines of Benazir Bhutto’s life, to discover someone whose heart will remain with you for a lifetime.
