Watch "A Jihad for Love" on Indian Television and across Asia, Africa, Middle East!

I have just returned from being a keynote speaker at the World Outgames in Copenhagen. I was humbled to learn the extent of the worldwide impact of this film from delegates from countries we had not been able to easily reach.

And now-that impact is going to increase a thousand fold when beginning tomorrow you can watch "A Jihad for Love" on one of the most watched networks in Indian Television.

NDTV 24X7 which has a very large footprint across the Indian sub-continent and the Middle East will be broadcasting "A Jihad for Love" on the following dates and times (Indian time/calculate accordingly for your own region if you get this television channel in your own country).

This is historic and important in a time when Section 377 of the Indian penal code has been successfully challenged and this will increase the number of viewers and nations this film has been seen in, significantly.

Here are the times (all times are Indian Standard Time)

Part 1
Aug 1, 2009: 3 - 4 pm
Aug 2, 2009: 1 - 2 pm
Part 2
Aug 8, 2009: 3 - 4 pm
Aug 9, 2009: 1 - 2 pm

NDTV 24X7 can be seen in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives, UAE (including Sharjah, Dubai and Abu-Dhabi), South Africa, Singapore, Mauritius, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and on many platforms in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the UK and Canada. Check your local TV/cable listings for your individual countries and times.

Please tune in, in your own countries and spread the word widely. This is a huge opportunity for millions across the world and in many countries we have not been able to reach before, to view the film.
