Pakistan zindabad: Longue vie au Pakistan

2007 · Documentary

Celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of the creation of Pakistan, this video identifies the keys to understanding the country’s present through its political history. Ever since its creation in 1947, Pakistan seems to have been a prisoner of the conflicting geopolitical legacy which hampers its political and economic development. Political divide stems from multiple factors such as its antagonism with India, its relationship to neighbouring Afghanistan, and its strategy of changing alliance with world powers, in addition to the banner of Islam which, unable to unite ethnic groups, has at times exacerbated conflict between Muslims in this country of 150 million inhabitants that plays - and will continue to play for a long time to come - a central role in worldwide political and strategic affairs.

The noisy commemoration, celebrated by the Germans in 1993, reached a peak. It was only a question of reconciliation between the adversaries of yesterday and reciprocal pardon. Very laudable intentions which perhaps conceal a memory problem. And if, to too much want to turn the page, the Germans did not come to lose their memories? If history, covered by noise, became mute? If the faults were changed into "details"? The grandchildren of the combatants react in front of the camera to the evocation of these questions and to the spectacle of the vast market of commemorations.

In June 1941, Nazi troops invaded the USSR. It's an “ideological and racial war”, says Adolf Hitler. Marshal Zhukov stopped the Germans at the gates of Moscow. But in July 1942, the Führer decided to head for the Caucasus, where there was oil. A modern industrial city, 80% of Stalingrad was raised to the ground in just a few days of bombing. But the Soviet Generalissimo and Chairman of the State Defense Committee, Stalin, decided not to evacuate the city. A single motto: “Not one more step backwards”. [episode 1/3 of series]
