Jinnah Movie from Asian Leader

'Jinnah: The Movie' DVD Cover

Rochdale based newspaper Asian Leader has been awarded sole distribution rights in the Northwest for the movie that Christopher Lee called his "best performance in 57 years".

'Jinnah: The Movie' is a film on a magnificent scale telling the story, life, trials and tribulations in the life of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the father of the nation of Pakistan.

Christopher Lee gives a mesmerising performance as Jinnah, a man often misrepresented as the merciless and antagonistic initiator of partition. Yet Lee brings a human side to the character, showing his tenderness towards his beloved sister Fatima (Shireen Shah) and his crisis of conscious over partition; a decision he felt to be an inevitable consequence.

Starring alongside fellow-screen legend Shashi Kapoor, Jinnah revisits his past, giving the audience a never-before-seen insight into the mind of a man who reshaped the globe to make a homeland for the Muslims of India, a goal that earned him the title 'Qaid-e-Azam', The Greatest Leader.

'Jinnah: The Movie' came up against many obstacles in it's fight for recognition, but it is only now, thanks to the help of a number of organisations, that the film has finally been given the audience and reception it deserves.

'Jinnah: The Movie' is not available in the shops and is a must for any enthusiast of the history of Pakistan. The double-disc Special Edition DVD set is a definitive educational aid not only for academic establishments, but also in the home.
