Joseph Goebbels was an enigmatic genius whose manipulation of mass opinion was unprecedented. His rise to power, and that of the Nazi Party itself, will forever stand as history’s most terrifying example of the reach of propaganda. This “rare and chilling glimpse into a brilliant but toxic mind” (NY Times), allows Goebbels to speak for himself via his extensive diaries. Islam today is the world’s second largest and fastest growing religion. Muslim filmmaker Parvez Sharma travels the many worlds of this dynamic faith, discovering the stories of its most unlikely storytellers: lesbian and gay Muslims. Produced by Sandi DuBowski (Trembling Before G-d) and filmed in 12 countries, A JIHAD FOR LOVE looks beyond the war-torn present and reclaims the Islamic concept of Jihad, whose true meaning is akin to ‘an inner struggle’ or ‘to strive in the path of God’ – allowing us to move beyond the narrow concept of Jihad as holy war.
