I've been working press screenings for this documentary about the life and heroic political career of Benazir Bhutto, entitled Bhutto. The other day I decided to sit in for the entire screening. What I didn't know is that I would walk out in tears.
It was quite embarrassing actually, in a room full of professional reporters and movie critics here I was, a nobody to them, completely emotionally attacked by two hours of an unveiling of a life that I didn't even know was lived.
This documentary features interviews with experts on the Bhutto family, family members, and friends including Azif Ali Zardari, current president of Pakistan; Condeleeza Rice and more as well as unheard interviews with Benazir herself.
If you want to be inspired, and aggravated to do more to help our world become democratically fair I recommend you go see this film. American Filmmaker Duane Baughman should be thanked by the world for reminding us of this persons incredible, world affecting life story. Bhutto was released on December 3rd.
Mike Hale wrote a really positive review about it for the New York Times.
An interesting topic, and I like your emotional reaction to it. and the tone is good, but you don't go anywhere with the material. it's not enough to just tell is it made you cry, we need some attempt to see WHY
