How Salman Rushdie publicly reaffirmed his Muslim faith in 1990. This ten-part series tells the hidden story of the 1989 fatwa issued against Sir Salman - the forces which led to the death sentence and recent attack on him, and the consequences for all of us. The series covers a 20-year period from 1979 to 1999 and explores race relations in Britain, identity, free speech and the connection between the fatwa and contemporary violent jihad. It was originally broadcast in 2019.
