Christopher Lee (I, Monster) stars in Jinnah, an epic drama about the life of Pakistan’s founding father, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, directed by Jamil Dehlavi (Born of Fire, Immaculate Conception).

Exploring Jinnah’s journey, from political isolation in the Indian National Congress to his leadership of the Muslim League, and from his controversial fight for a Muslim homeland to the Partition of India, this ravishing and enthralling film examines the founding of Pakistan, as well as the bloody aftermath.

Co-starring Indian screen icon Shashi Kapoor (Shakespeare Wallah), and with support from James Fox (Performance), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Sam Dastor (The Life and Death of Peter Sellers), and Maria Aitken (A Fish Called Wanda), Jinnah features a commanding performance from Lee – one which he himself considered to be the best of his career.
