- In the 1960s, the hippies championed the idea of a sexual revolution. They received neither Fatwas nor bodyguards. Today, Seyran Ates - a Turkish- German lawyer, feminist, and one of the first female imams in Europe - is fighting for a sexual revolution within Islam. In return, she was shot, received fatwas and death threats, and now has to live under constant police protection. Seyran believes the only way to fight against radical Islam is through Islam, which is why, in her liberal mosque, there is no gender segregation or exclusion based on sexual orientation. This is the story of Seyran's personal and ideological fight for the modernization of Islam. Her quest for change takes her on a journey around the world, meeting with different people connected through faith, from sex workers in a German brothel to Uyghur LGBTQ youth and traditional female imams in China. It is also a journey through Seyran's life, from her humble beginnings as a Muslim girl in Turkey's slums to a female leader daring to challenge her own religion. Seyran rebels against extremism and hate in the name of peace and love.

- So gigantic the success, so reprehensible the backgrounds. The video of the social campaign 'KONY 2012' of the NPO 'Invisible Children, Inc.' was clicked one hundred million times within a very short time after its publication. But under the pretense of sincere humanitarian intentions against the misdeeds of the alleged war criminal Joseph Kony, this appeal was intended to manipulate public opinion in a manner that led the US government to seek military intervention. This documentary leads to Uganda, the Central African Republic and the United States, and shows what obscure intents - from economic mining interests to religious fundamentalist proselytizing - were actually hide behind the operation of the US military in Africa and the activities of the opaque nonprofit organization with their Christian-right, evangelical financial backers.
