For more information visit http://www.firstrunfeatures.com/jihadforlove_synopsis.html A Jihad for Love is the world's first feature documentary to explore the complex global intersections between Islam and homosexuality. Muslim gay filmmaker Parvez Sharma has gone where the silence is loudest, filming with great risk in nations where government permission to make this film was not an option. Parvez enters the many worlds of Islam by illuminating multiple stories as diverse as Islam itself. Filmed in twelve countries and nine languages, the film travels a wide geographic arc presenting us lives from India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, South Africa and France. Always filming in secret and as a Muslim, Parvez makes the film from within the faith, depicting Islam with the same respect that the film's characters show for it.
