Fourteen centuries after the revelation of the holy Qur'an to the Prophet Muhammad, Islam today is the world's second largest and fastest growing religion. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma travels the many worlds of this dynamic faith, discovering the stories of its most unlikely storytellers: lesbian and gay Muslims.
Produced by Sharma and Sandi DuBowski (director of the award-winning TREMBLING BEFORE G-D), A JIHAD FOR LOVE was filmed over 5 years in 12 countries and 9 languages and comes from the heart of Islam.

In doing so the film and its remarkable subjects move beyond the narrow concept of 'Jihad' as holy war. More »
