Overview

Gibney’s “Knife” will explore Rushdie’s recovery “in the broadest sense,” according to a press release. Through Rushdie’s wife Rachel Eliza Griffiths’ personal footage, which has never been seen by the public, the doctor will follow the writer during not only his physical recovery but also the recovery of his spirit and hope for the future. In "Knife,"  Rushdie writes, “It’s a story in which hatred—tthe knife as a metaphor of hate—iis answered and finally overcome by love.”
