| Description | Can We Talk About This? deals with freedom of speech, censorship and Islam. From the 1989 book burnings of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses, to the murder of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh and the controversy of the 'Muhammad cartoons' in 2005, DV8's production will examine how these events have reflected and influenced multicultural policies, press freedom and artistic censorship. | |||||||||||||||||||
