In 1977 General Zia's military regime took over Pakistan. He promised to go within 90 days. Nine years later he is still there. Once in power Zia's regime had Prime Minister Bhutto, Pakistan's only elected leader, arrested, tried and hanged. The regime also had hundreds of Bhutto's supporters and activists executed, tortured, jailed and publicly flogged. Now, for hundreds more, exile to Britain is the only escape. They find British hospitality much qualified by a colonial past and bureaucratic present. But it is a free country and as one exile said, 'We have to make it home until we can go home.' This film, marking the 39th anniversary of Pakistan's independence, tells their story of living and campaigning both in Pakistan and Britain.
