"A Jihad for Love" is his first feature, which he directed and produced and is an international phenomenon with more than 8 million viewers in 49 nations in the first two years of its release. The film has been premiered at most major international festival venues including a world premier at Toronto in 2007 and a European premiere (as the opening film of Panorama Documentary) in Berlin, 2008. The winner of more than five international awards, the film has been theatrically released across the US and in Canada and is being broadcast around the world.

Co-produced with five international broadcasters, France's ARTE, Germany's ZDF, the US Logo, Australian SBS, the British Channel 4 and the Sundance Documentary Fund and Katahdin Foundation, the film has also brought together a historic coalition of foundations and individual donors, making it one of the best funded documentaries of recent times. Mr. Sharma speaks nationally and internationally on college campuses and live theatrical events including conferences and seminars and is represented in the US by premier speakers agency, Keppler Speakers (www.kepplerspeakers.com)
Even though his film has faced theological condemnation in many countries, and has been banned in a number of countries, most notably in Singapore, Mr. Sharma remains (in his own words) "fatwa-free" as he has become a leading spokesperson on defending Islam and yet being able to speak for urgent reform, as a Muslim. He has conducted and led more than 200 live events across the world talking about Islam and in part its relation to homosexuality.
