Stephen Sackur talks to writer Fatima Bhutto, granddaughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.

Stephen Sackur talks to Fatima Bhutto, granddaughter of former Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who has recently written an account of her celebrated family's history.

Fatima Bhutto was born into a family dynasty steeped in politics and power. Her grandfather, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was Pakistan's former Prime Minister. He was hanged more than 30 years ago and tragedy has stalked the family since. Her father, Murtaza, was murdered and so too was her aunt, Benazir. Stephen Sackur talks to Fatima, who has now written an account of her family's history. The Bhutto name lives on, but does it matter in today's Pakistan?
