Other Ways to Celebrate
Sikh Musical Heritage - The Untold Story:
The award-winning, feature-length documentary Sikh Musical Heritage - The Untold Story, explores the origins of traditional Sikh instrumentation and how a French instrument found its way into every Gurdwara (Sikh Temple) to become the central instrument in performing traditional Sikh music. Through a series of interviews, musical performances and historical accounts, the film journeys from the introduction of Sikh music by the founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, to the invasion of the British Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries that nearly destroyed all Sikh traditions.
