November '84 Documentary

After the sangat's overwhelming response to the groundbreaking "Battle of Amritsar", the first documentary that focussed on Sikh resistance in June 84, our team is working on a sequel we aim to release this November to commemorate the 40 year anniversary of 1984.

The “Battle of Amritsar” was watched by thousands in theatres, Gurdware, and Sikhi Camps across the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.

Our next project will tell the story of the violence perpetrated against Sikhs across India in November '84, focussing on firsthand accounts of survivors and witnesses.

Similar to our first project, we aim to tell the story from an unapologetic perspective rooted in the resilience and revolutionary spirit of Sikh history. This new documentary explores what the concept of “justice” means from a Sikh perspective and how Sikhs respond to and emerge from violent episodes (ghallugharay) like June and November ’84.

Our goal is to empower Sikh viewers to embrace and celebrate the resistance and shahadat experienced in June and November ’84, rather than lament a story of violence and victimhood.

The "Battle of Amritsar" was only possible because of sangat and panthic institutions around the world. Similarly, we need the sangat's support to make this new documentary a reality. We have already begun production with filming across three countries, but we need significant support to complete production, post-production, purchase licensing for archival footage and make this a reality.
