"A Jihad for Love"

Tired of your queer movies being about white Pottery Barn gays in Los Angeles? Get into the lives of devout gay Muslims trying to reconcile their faith and their sexuality in Parvez Sharma's documentary A Jihad for Love. Nathan Lee, writing in the New York Times, noted the film "ranges from Johannesburg to Istanbul, from doubt to despair (with a happy detour among the drag queens of India). He does manage to locate a headstrong lesbian in Paris, albeit one whose face, like those of many of the subjects here, has been digitally blurred." Playdates into September are:
