Benazir Bhutto: The Political Legacy of A Woman Between Two Worlds

Benazir Bhutto:
The Political Legacy
of A Woman
Between Two Worlds

The first ever woman prime minister of a Muslim country, Pakistan, and a firm believer in Western democracy , Benazir Bhutto was ousted from power on corruption charges and returned from her self-imposed exile only to be assassinated soon after during her renewed election campaign on December 27th 2007. As the daughter of the politician Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the Harvard and Oxford educated Benazir lived through her father’s execution and went on to successfully lead his party, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). In this interview filmed in London during her exile, the formidable politician looks back on her early political years and firmly rejects claims of corruption and malfeasance that overshadowed her administrations.
