Dubowski to Screen Gay Muslim Film "In the Name of Allah"
A new documentary exploring the lives of gay Muslims could soon set off another round of violent protests in the Middle East.The film’s producer, Sandi Dubowski, has promised to submit his movie to all the major film festivals of the Muslim and Western worlds. And even if it is rejected, he told Variety magazine, "We’ll find ways of screening it in every Muslim nation, even if it’s underground.”
The film, titled "In the Name of Allah,” will give viewers a glimpse of the Muslim world from a gay, lesbian, and transgender perspective.
(Hat tip: Jeremayakovka, via e-mail.) Dubowski previously produced "Trembling Before G-d" which explored the lives of lesbian and gay Orthodox Jews.
