Description
This topical documentary tells of Pakistan's relatively unknown three million Christians. In 1998, Bishop John Joseph shot himself in the head in protest against the blasphemy law. The law is wide-ranging and demands punishments up to the death penalty for anyone deemed to have insulted Islam. While many Christians are able to practice their faith freely, the law remains a vital means of Pakistan's constitutional discrimination today. Nevertheless, most Christians in Pakistan realize it's not a matter of Muslim versus Christian. There are positive signs of Muslims and Christians living peacefully together. Yet so long as the powerful extremist groups keep a stranglehold on the majority religion, Pakistan's Christian population will be worrying about their future.
