Fourteen centuries after the revelation of the holy Qur’anto the Prophet Muhammad, Islam today is the world’s secondlargest and fastest grow-ing religion. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma travels the many worlds of this dynamic faith, discovering the storiesof its most unlikely storytellers: lesbian and gay Muslims.
Produced by Sharma and Sandi DuBowski (directorof the award-winning Tremblin Before G-d), A Jihad for Love was filmed over years in 12 countries and 9 languages and comes fromthe heart of Islam. Lookingbeyonda hostile and war-torn present, it reclaimsthe Islamic conceptof a greater Jihad, whose true meaning is akin to an inner struggle’or to strive in the path of God.’ In doing so the film and its remarkable sub-jects move beyond the narrow concept of Jihad’ as holy war. |
