It has been three years since the murder of Benazir Bhutto, and yet it has not been found who the assassins were. I think everyone has a good idea of who the killers were, but the question remains: will justice find its way specially when the murderers might me those with power?
As I watched Bhutto, I realized how the Bhuttos share a painful history of triumph and tragedy, played out on an international stage. Not only was Benazir's father hanged to death by a military dictator, Zia, but also her two brothers were killed grotesquely. The emotional elements in the film attract sympathy for Benazir, who herself were assassinated on 27th of December 2007.
Benazir Bhutto may have broken the Islamic glass ceiling, but she was wed in a traditional arranged marriage to then-Karachi playboy Asif Ali Zardari.
In 2007, with Pakistan rolling in turmoil, Benazir came back onto the world stage as Pakistan’s best hope for democracy. With her assassination she transcended politics, but left a legacy of simmering controversy and undeniable courage that will be debated for years.
