Mobeen Azhar examines the lasting effect Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses has had on the Muslim community and how the events of 1989 continue to have an impact today.

Rebecca Nicholson

Guardian

The Satanic Verses: 30 Years On poses complex and ever pressing questions about free speech, and whether limits should be imposed upon it.

Times (UK)

Azhar has the knack of treading into tricky territory, normally without putting anybody's backs up.

Sean O'Grady

Independent (UK)

All of the discussions led by Azhar about the affair's impact are balanced and measured - except at the end of the film, when things get a bit heated.

Rated: 3/5
