Review of Bhutto (2010) by Sarfaraz A — 27 May 2012

I always feel honored to come from a city 'LARKANA (SINDH)' that gave courageous leaders like Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto to Pakistan. As in the documentary it is shown how much people are crazy about Bhutto family, I must also disclose here that I am one of those people who adore Bhutto family, living in same city, they lived.

" Bhutto is a documentary about great personalities of Bhutto family in general and Benazir Bhutto in particular. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto 1928-1979 came from my hometown Larkana (Sindh). He was educated at Barkley University and Oxford University, his vocal power, intellectual, wits, wisdom and charismatic personality had made him the most popular and beloved leader in Pakistan history. Z.A. Bhutto was murdered by the upper machines, for his rising status as global leader, courageous steps, like asking Arab nations to use oil as weapon against the West for Palestinian issue; to ask them (Arabs) to withdraw their bank accounts from U.S. and European banks to be deposited a new bank to be built in Pakistan or UAE (Arab countries do not receive interest on their balance in banks, because Islam has forbidden taking interest). Lastly a move that Z.A. Bhutto pressed hard to acquiring Nuclear weapons. He was overthrown in a military coup led by General Zia Ul Haq, and later executed. Benazir Bhutto the eldest child of Z.A. Bhutto came on stage to lead her father's party PPP (Pakistan Peoples Party), seeking just and democratic ways to fight dictatorship; she was put under house-arrest for years, suffered tortures, her two younger brothers were killed Shahnawaz Bhutto was poisoned in his residence in France, and Murtaza was murdered in Karachi. She became the youngest Prime Minister of Pakistan at the age of 36-37, and the first Muslim woman to lead a modern state Pakistan. She was elected twice the premier of Pakistan, and twice her government was toppled. After going into self-exile between London and Dubai, she was approached by former dictator Pres: Gen: Musharraf, and the United States to go back to Pakistan and lead the country under turmoil. Although she was pre-informed about threats to her life, she would always say that her country needed her, her people needed and she needed to be in Pakistan to save Pakistan from extremism ".

A remarkable documentary that chronicles timeline about Pakistan history. It offers everything and does go unbiased. A must watch documentary for those who see Pakistan differently (mostly negatively).
