The Blasphemer's Banquet
1989
Documentary
TV Episode
The Blasphemers' Banquet is a passionate defense of Salman Rushdie's right to freedom of speech, even it if involves blasphemy. This defense unfolds through the deceptively simple structural conceit of a restaurant meal in Bradford (the town where a copy of The Satanic Verses was burnt in public) to which blasphemers past and present are invited. None of course turns up, most because they are already dead, Rushdie because by then he was in hiding for his life. (imdb)
