Documentary History

Cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi has one mission: to preserve blasphemy laws in Pakistan which prescribe a mandatory death sentence for disrespecting The Prophet Muhammad and life imprisonment for desecrating the Holy Quran. But there’s more to this mission: Rizvi is running for the country's highest office where everyone is just a pawn in his quest for absolute power.

Director: Mohammed Naqvi
