Code Name Sally is a short documentary by Ari and Sturla Gunnarsson that celebrates the 25th anniversary of PEN Canada's finest hour. In the fall of 1992, Salman Rushdie was in deep hiding somewhere in England, condemned to death for blasphemy. In Toronto a small group of PEN Canada leaders launched an audacious secret mission to help him regain his freedom. Featuring interviews with Salman Rushdie, Louise Dennys, John Ralston Saul, Adrienne Clarkson, Ric Young, Marian Botsford Fraser, Bob Rae and Barbara McDougall.
PEN Canada President Richard Stursberg, former Ontario Premier Bob Rae, writer Marian Botsford Fraser, and Executive Publisher and Executive Vice-President of Random House of Canada Louise Dennys join writer/producer Sturla Gunnarsson in a special post-screening discussion.
