Film Description



From the frontlines of independent filmmaking comes an unprecedented, provocative yet ultimately life affirming work. ‘In The Name Of Allah' is the world's first documentary to explore the complex intersections of Islam with homosexuality. Traveling through a worldwide spectrum of Islamic societies the film documents the stories and struggles of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and transgender Muslims and ends the deafening silence that surrounds their lives. Extremely relevant in a post 9-11 world this remarkable film is about coming back to faith and about shattering assumptions of religious fundamentalism.
