Christopher Lee, world-reknowned actor who most recently stars in Lord of the Rings and Star Wars 2, has the lead in another timely film, JINNAH. Jane Albrecht, the Albrecht Group, is representing the film at Cannes, Cannes tel. # (00) (32 477) 321 592. Lee transforms himself into Jinnah in this film about the controversial, violent partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. Hauntingly, Jinnah died on Sept. 11, 1948. This film is timely in light of this past year's events. Can Islam and Democracy coexist? Did Gandhi, Nehru, Mountbatten and Jinnah make the right decisions or sow the seeds of irresolvable conflict? What is the role of women in Islam? <!-- Ce Mail a été envoyé à l'adresse : "FILMSTUDIO AN DER RWTH AACHEN" <cannes53@filmstudio.rwth-aachen.de> -->
