Synopsis: Documentary focuses on the Sikh community of Afghanistan that
have dwindled from 80,000 to a mere 1000 as of 2012. The proud Afghan Sikhs have
been a part of the culture and heritage of Afghanistan ever since the founder of
Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev Ji visited Kabul on his return from Baghdad and Mecca to
India in the 16th century.
This film has captured the testimonies of the surviving Sikh families of Kabul who live in appalling conditions within their damaged Gurdwaré (Sikh place of worship) where 2 families are confined to a room. Since the American invasion of 2001 numerous wealthy Sikhs fled in haste to Pakistan and Europe, but some unable to flee were stranded and today their dilemma is worse than ever.
Walk on with Náám in your heart and, you'll never walk alone.
