a jihad for love
The Human Rights Watch International Film Festival collaborates for the first time with the Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program to showcase scenes "from two much-anticipated films supported by the DFP that explore the question of faith and the Muslim experience today." The first is Jihad for Love, directed by Parvez Sharma and produced by Sandi Simcha DuBowksi (Trembling Before G-d). Filmed in 12 different countries and in nine languages, the documentary is described as exploring the "complex global intersections of Islam and homosexuality."

Patel's Project Kashmir (see map above for more details).  Ed Gonzalez
