A fascinatingly controversial figure, Seyran Ateş is a pioneering Muslim feminist, lawyer, and human rights activist fighting for the radical modernization of Islam. After founding Germany’s first liberal mosque, integrating all genders and welcoming LGBTQIA+ worshippers, she finds herself with a dangerous target on her back. SEYRAN ATEŞ: SEX, REVOLUTION, AND ISLAM tracks her prolific legacy as she navigates death threats and expulsion from her native country, all in the name of a more inclusive Muslim faith.
