Plot Summary
PARVEZ SHARMA, frustrated by the stereotype of Islam that's typically presented by Western media, reclaims the word Jihad ("inner struggle") in this documentary illuminating the stories of several gay Muslims. Homosexuality is outlawed in the nations of many of his subjects, so condemnation and persecution feature prominently in the doc- but so do faith, hope, and, of course, love.
