The Radical - He leads with love where others preach exclusion
In a world where queerness and religion are often seen as incompatible, this gripping documentary tells the remarkable story of Muhsin Hendricks, the world’s first openly gay imam.
Despite intense opposition, Hendricks founded an inclusive mosque in Cape Town, creating a haven for LGBTQ Muslims seeking spiritual acceptance. As he expands his mission beyond borders—into countries where queer existence is illegal—this film captures his bold fight for a more compassionate, inclusive interpretation of Islam.
