Culture Finds: BHUTTO
When Benazir Bhutto was elected Prime Minister of Pakistan in 1988, she became the first women ever to lead a Muslim nation. On 27 December 2007, her life and leadership was cut short by a suicide bomb attack and shooting. BHUTTO, a new film by Duane Baughman, reveals her legacy as seen through an intrepid political career.
An official selection at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, BHUTTO features interviews with experts, friends and family members including Asif Ali Zardari, Bhutto's widower and current President of Pakistan; Pervez Musharraf, exiled former President of Pakistan; Condoleezza Rice, former United States Secretary of State; Arianna Huffington, journalist and Bhutto's college friend; and Fatima Bhutto, journalist and niece.
BHUTTO will have its U.S. theatrical premiere in New York and Los Angeles on 3 December 2010. A nationwide roll out will follow.
