Ostensibly a film about lesbian and gay life in Muslim countries, this film is much more than a standard account of repression or intolerance. A Jihad For Love is as much about Islam as it is about sexual preference. In fact, it’s a sort of coming out story for a culture.

And it’s opening theatrically all over America.

At the table today we have filmmaker Parvez Sharma, producer Sandi Dubowski of Films That Change The World, and Iman Muhsin Hendricks, a gay imam living in Johannesburg, South Africa, who is featured in the film. It’s a great discussion.
