Film on Gay Muslims to be released soon
hat tip - drudgeSandi Dubowski, who won the Teddy gay and lesbian award in 2001 for his controversial doc "Trembling Before G-d," may cause an even bigger stir with "In the Name of Allah," which explores the struggles of homosexual Muslims. Gay Indian Muslim helmer Parvez Sharma is directing the pic, which looks at gay, lesbian, and transgender Muslims across the Muslim and Western worlds. "The world right now needs to understand Islam, and these are the most unlikely storytellers of Islam," Dubowski said, who is producing 'Allah.' The movie "Trembling Before G-d" was a serious flick (not like Brokeback Mountain) with serious theological discussions and real people. This one seems similar. If there are any KFCs or MacDonalds left in Pakland after the cartoon riots, they risk being trashed next month based on this movie. Posted by: mhw 2006-02-15 |
