Just over four years ago a knifeman attempted to murder the author Salman Rushdie.
He survived, and his attacker was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Now a film has been made about the attack called Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie. Krishnan Guru-Murthy went to meet him – and his wife – to hear more about why they wanted to make such an intimate film.
