It's a very high quality production with some amazing cameras used. I would recommend watching and then would like to hear your opinions.

A good video for Sikhs and non-Sikhs to understand our faith.

Yeah, i think they could have elaborated more as to who Sikhs are and what Sikhs believe in with a little history, but i don't think it was that kind of movie. I guess it was more of an artistic approach to the subject.

Definitely. I guess the centrepiece of the project was 'kesh' and the film was based around that. For what it was, I reckon it was job well done. Like you say, an artistic approach to the subject.

You know what I'd love to see? A proper Discovery channel-type documentary on the Sikh faith from the beginning (prior to Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birth) to the end of Mughal rule. Great production values, a big-name narrator, no expense spared. That would be a dream come true and a great educational tool.

I agree, it would be a great way to inform people on who Sikhs are and even inspire Sikhs to get back on the path.

The lead should be taken by some proper Sikhs who know their history though!

Financial backing is paramount. Subject-wise a lot of thought is required with input from all the various jathebandia, but directed by someone with a clear vision.

True.

Sadly our community is so fractured, and theres so much back-biting, divisions and vendettas amongst even our religious groups that I'm sure the project would be sabotaged from the get-go.

Anyway, back to this movie. I'd love to see more from the guys who made this particular short-film. This is the kind stuff that's going to be of interest to future generations of savvy Sikhs who won't be particularly desi-fied but still need to know why we are, what we are.

i liked the video alot, especially how it tells you the emotions a person goes through after being abused in such a way, and it tells us how, truly alone our community makes us feel about something rather than come and tell you that they support you
