In Dinner With the President the filmmakers go in search of nothing less than the meaning of democracy in Pakistan. Go to Full Review Vadim Rizov Village Voice 11/12/2008
For all of Sumar's hard work and interesting footage, Dinner With the President is a mess, alternating interviews and Sumar's token progressive sentiments before carelessly using the assassination of Benazir Bhutto for a queasy, drawn-out climax.
