A Jihad for Love is a 2007 international documentary from visionary Indian filmmaker Parvez Sharma. The film explores the many issues surrounding homosexual Muslims, who often live either in secret or exile because of the violent persecution of gays and lesbians in Islamic communities. The film features a series of interviews with practicing Muslims from a wide range of countries, providing perspective on the similarities and differences between a variety of Islamic communities. Countries featured in the film include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, France, South Africa, and the United States. The film is an exhibition of human bravery, as many of the people interviewed would undoubtedly face execution if their participation in the film was revealed to their family and community. A Jihad for Love received international acclaim for its effort to showcase the positive aspects of the Islam faith in the face of massive prejudice, and received several major Awards at the many film festivals it appeared at around the world.MORE[EDIT]
