Last but not least, a $5,000 grant is awarded to the South-African filmmaker Richard Gregory for his project The Radical

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Muhsin Hendricks is the world’s first openly gay imam. Despite death threats and opposition, he established a radically inclusive mosque in Cape Town, South Africa. Now, he fights for the empowerment of LGBTQ Muslims in the Islamic countries across the world where their existence is outlawed. The Radical is an intimate, personal film that follows the lives of queer Muslims seeking to change the religion they love, so that it can love them back.
