In August 2022, decades after Iran issued a fatwa calling for his death, world-renowned author Salman Rushdie was brutally attacked on stage in New York, stabbed 15 times before an audience.
Oscar-winning documentarian Alex Gibney delivers a defiant, deeply personal portrait of survival, recovery, and artistic courage. Drawing on Rushdie’s celebrated memoir and featuring never-before-seen, unflinching home footage captured by his wife, poet Rachel Eliza Griffiths, KNIFE traces Rushdie’s physical and spiritual rehabilitation after losing an eye and the use of a hand. Equal parts intimate love story and urgent defense of free speech, the film celebrates art as the ultimate instrument of resistance against censorship and terror.

More about the Marching Dodgers

The Marching Dodgers have a rigorous schedule. In addition to practices during the week, the Marching Dodgers have a full performance schedule. They entertain at home games, and travel with the Madison Dodgers football team to away games to play as a pep band in the stands, supporting the team and rallying the fans.
