Insha’allah Democracy – Storyville
BBC FOUR, 10.00PM A crook, a Taliban sympathiser and a former military dictator represented the choices for the voters of Pakistan in 2013. Film-maker Mohammed Naqvi’s startling documentary gets up close to the latter, Pervez Musharraf, who ruled the country from 2001 until 2008. The insights Naqvi offers into this deeply controversial yet oddly unimpressive figure and his country’s faltering democracy are chilling, troubling and acquired at considerable risk.
