"Directors Duane Baughman and Johnny O'Hara posit the Bhuttos as the Kennedys of Pakistan and the late Benazir as the Golden Child with some lip service given to their enemies. What's clear is that the last job you'd ever want in the world is president or prime minister of Pakistan, since it seems to come with a near-automatic death sentence. This is a fine, scrupulously researched historical introduction to one of the world's largest countries and a potential powderkeg."

""A recent Sundance world premiere, Bhutto tells the epic story of one of the most fascinating characters of our time--Benazir Bhutto, the first woman in history to lead a Muslim nation. A favored daughter of the family often called the "Kennedys of Pakistan," Benazir was elected Prime Minister after her father was overthrown and executed by his own military. Her two terms in power saw extreme acts of courage and controversy as she tried to clean up Pakistan's corrupt political culture while quelling the fires of radical Islam that threaten to engulf the region. A fascinating array of archival footage and interviews with family members and leading experts brings life to this tale of Shakespearean dimension in the country the Economist calls the World's most dangerous place."--Container."@en

"Benazir è un nome che significa senza paragoni, unica. Speciale era Benazir Bhutto, la leader pakistana morta in un attentato nel dicembre 2007. A lei, alla sua vita, e alla sua dinastia è dedicato Bhutto, il documentario di Duane Baughman e Johnny O'Hara sulla prima donna a essere eletta primo ministro in un paese musulmano, colei che ha cambiato il Pakistan, e il mondo. Il rapporto col padre Sulfikar, coi fratelli, la carriera politica, i suoi lutti, le sue lotte. Sono i binari su cui viaggia la pellicola, percorsi che si scambiano e si intrecciano per restituire la complessità di una figura tanto coraggiosa, carismatica, forte (Mymovies)."
