=== ''Faith without Fear'' === In 2007 Manji released a [[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] documentary, ''Faith without Fear''. It follows her journey to reconcile faith and freedom, depicting the personal risks she has faced as a Muslim reformer. She explores [[Islamism]] in Yemen, Europe and North America, as well as histories of Islamic [[critical thinking]] in Spain and elsewhere.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/weta/crossroads/about/show_faith_without_fear.html|title=Irshad Manji calls on her fellow Muslims to reform|publisher=[[PBS]]|quote=Trekking through the Arabian peninsula, Manji speaks with Osama bin Laden's former bodyguard, who explains why he's willing to turn his young son into a martyr. She also engages a California convert to Islam who now lives in Yemen and says that by covering her body and face, she's exercising American-style freedom of religion. But is it really freedom if you'll be punished for not covering? Manji meets one Yemeni woman who faces a steep price for rejecting the rules. Through them, Manji discovers what she thinks has corrupted a religion of justice to become an ideology of fear.}}</ref> ''Faith Without Fear'' was nominated for an [[Emmy]]<ref name="Emmy" /> and was a finalist for the [[National Film Board]] of Canada's [[Gemini Award]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nfb.ca/about/news.php?id=1584|title=2007 Gemini Awards|date=10 October 2007|publisher=[[National Film Board of Canada]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071221070903/http://www.nfb.ca/about/news.php?id=1584|archive-date=21 December 2007}}</ref>{{Sfn|Lichter|2009|p=96}} It launched the 2008 [[Muslim Film Festival]], organized by the [[American Islamic Congress]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.muslimfilm.org/schedule.html |title=2008Muslim Film Festival - Think-Different Women |archive-url=https://archive.today/20080416235659/http://www.muslimfilm.org/schedule.html |archive-date=16 April 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref> and won Gold at the [[New York Television Festival]].{{Sfn|Lichter|2009|p=96}}
