The Blood of Hussain is a Pakistani film directed by Jamil Dehlavi and released in 1980 (released in February 1981 in the UK). The film was banned throughout Pakistan as the military junta lead by General Zia-ul-Haq toppled the government of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
Other titles for the movie
The film is known as To Aima tou agonisti in Greece, Husseins Herzblut in Germany and Le Sang d'Hussain in France.
The Plot
The film is about the life and death of Hussain, the youngest son of a Pakistani family. He meets a holy soothdayer who foretells his destiny, which is to leberate the poor and oppressed against a tyrannical government. The struggle parallels that of Imam Hussain of the 7th century who was martyred by the Yazid I, the Umayyad Caliph.
Banning of the movie
The film was banned by the Pakistani military ruler General Zia-ul-Haq, after he seized power in a coup de etat and became President of Pakistan in 1977, as the film portrays a fictional military coup in less than favorable light. The ban on the movie still has not yet been lifted, and the director later moved to United Kingdom. The film was eventually released and shown on British television.
