Sundance film festival: a new documentary explores the author’s physical and spiritual healing from the 2022 knife attack that almost killed him

On 12 August 2022, as Salman Rushdie was about to launch into a lecture on the importance of protecting writers from harm at New York’s Chautauqua Institution, a man in a black mask rushed the stage with a knife. To the horror of the packed amphitheater, the man stabbed the Indian-born British-American author – once the subject of an infamous fatwa from the leader of Iran in the 1980s – 15 times in the face, neck and torso, before members of the audience rushed the stage and disarmed him. Rushdie survived, narrowly; the stabbing left him on a ventilator, severed tendons in his left hand, and cost him his right eye.

A full recreation of that attack from Rushdie’s perspective — 27 seconds of struggle, the mysterious man’s face, several sickening punches of blade — opens a new documentary on Rushdie’s recovery and resilience, which drew a standing ovation at the Sundance film festival. Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie, directed by Alex Gibney and based on Rushdie’s memoir of the same name, is unsparing on the devastating results of the stabbing: in never-before-seen footage recorded by the author’s wife, Rachel Eliza Griffiths, Rushdie appears gruesomely disfigured — his skin discolored, his entire abdomen bisected by stitches, his swollen neck held together by stitches, his eye indescribably mangled. His first coherent thought after regaining consciousness, he recalls in the film, was simply: “We need to document this.”

"Will you heed my call to war?"

Drake Maye got the New England Patriots past the Denver Broncos and Sam Darnold helped the Seattle Seahawks edge the Los Angeles Rams. Super Bowl LX is set.

Sixth seed marches into quarter-finals with 6-3, 6-4 victory while the defending champion must pay forfeit agreed on with her podcast co-host

While speaking on a podcast before her big match against Madison Keys, Jessica Pegula was discussing their battle last January in the Adelaide final. Keys’s performance, Pegula recalled, had prompted Pegula to accurately predict to their mutual friends that Keys would win the Australian Open two weeks later. It is normal for players to discuss future opponents, but they do not usually do so in conversation with each other. With a chuckle, Keys interjected: “Jess is like, ‘I hope I don’t see that level [tomorrow].’”

She did not. Keys’s reign at the Australian Open came to a difficult end in the fourth round as the defending champion and ninth seed was crushed under the weight of her hefty unforced error count and a spotless performance from Pegula, the sixth seed, who marched into the quarter-finals with a 6-3, 6-4 win. This was, in some ways, a historic match on Rod Laver Arena: the first grand slam singles match between two podcast co-hosts.

"I hope what I've done fits inside the palace that people have made for themselves with these wonderful stories already and enriches it in some way."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle walked the red carpet at Sundance film festival as the Duchess of Sussex surprised audiences with a heartfelt speech about "Cookie Queens."

Kristyna Kaltounkova scored her ninth goal of the season for New York (7-0-2-6) and Anna Bargman scored her second goal this season with six minutes to play.

JD Vance said off-duty ICE and CBP officers were doxxed, mobbed and trapped in a Minneapolis restaurant, blaming local leaders for refusing to cooperate with immigration enforcement.

When the clock hit zero, Davante Adams had nowhere to go but back to the locker room. No celebration, no champagne, nothing.

Earlier in the game, Gonzalez gave the Broncos and Stidham, the Denver backup who hadn’t thrown an NFL pass since 2023, hope when he was beaten on a 52-yard pass play by Marvin Mims Jr.

New England punched its ticket to Super Bowl 2026 with its 10-7 win over the Broncos in the AFC Championship game.

The early bloom could threaten the yucca moth -- Joshua trees' only pollinator -- whose evolution has synced with the predictably timely blossoming of their flowers.

Sam Darnold threw for three touchdowns, the Seahawks’ “Dark Side” defense came up with a critical fourth-down stop, and Seattle advanced to the Super Bowl, beating the Los Angeles Rams 31-27 in an electrifying NFC championship game on Sunday.

“It’s amazing,” Darnold said. “To be able to do it with these guys in this locker room, though, with this coaching staff, that’s why it means the world to me.”
