I pray too, but that doesn’t mean I don’t think.

Zubeida’s disappointment with her ex-lover Saleem described the essence of the film Khamosh Pani, or Silent Waters. The unending struggle between literalist interpretation of religion and a more moderate approach to it has been captured beautifully in the 1979 Charkhi village in the province of Punjab.

It’s difficult to start a revolution, even more difficult to sustain one, and still more difficult to win one.

These were the words that defined the epic struggle of Algeria against the French occupation; captured meticulously on celluloid by Italian filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo in his docudrama The Battle of Algiers. This 1966 black-and-white narrative was shot [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=polecremo.wordpress.com&blog=3061046&post=4&subd=polecremo&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

There isn’t much to discuss about the legacy of General Zia-ul-Haq’s brutal regime. The menace of sectarian violence, sacrilege of democracy, curtailing of political freedom, and embarking of Army into every spheres of life, are all attributed to eleven years of direct military rule. But such a scathing review didn’t come when the general died [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=polecremo.wordpress.com&blog=3061046&post=3&subd=polecremo&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
