Don't Get Me Started - What's So Wrong About Blasphemy?(2006)

Don't Get Me Started - What's So Wrong About Blasphemy? is a documentary that examines religion and free speech through the lens of artistic controversy. Comedian and playwright Stewart Lee investigates the uproar surrounding Jerry Springer The Opera, the theatrical production that sparked heated debate about blasphemy and artistic expression. Lee explores why certain depictions of religion provoke such strong reactions, and questions what we mean by blasphemy in a modern, secular society. The film balances personal reflection with broader cultural commentary, asking whether art should face limits when it challenges religious beliefs. Lee's sharp wit and thoughtful approach make this both an entertaining and intellectually engaging exploration of a contentious cultural moment.
