Synopsis

This definitive documentary chronicles the life of one of the most complex and fascinating public figures of our time.

Educated at Harvard and Oxford, Benazir Bhutto's life changed forever when her father, Pakistan's first democratically elected president, chose her to carry his political mantle.

When he was overthrown and executed by his handpicked army chief, Benazir swore to avenge her father and restore democracy - or to die trying.

In 2007, with the country rolling in turmoil and under the thumb of yet another military dictator, Benazir was called back onto the world stage as Pakistan's best hope for democracy.

With her assassination she transcended politics, leaving a legacy of simmering controversy and undeniable courage that will be debated for years.
