The Sikhlens Community Voices program continues to progress toward securing $100K in funding. While we have currently raised 47% of our target amount, we have successfully wrapped production on four out of six originally planned projects and expanded our slate with two additional films.
Achieving our complete $100K fundraising objective will allow us to finish the outstanding productions while also creating possibilities to approve new innovative projects that highlight community perspectives and broaden narrative representation.
Flying High-Falcons Sikh Primary School premiered in May at our Sikhlens Film Festival in Leicester, UK. Falcons Primary School, the first Sikh faith school in Leicestershire, boasts a proud and inspirational history. Its dedicated staff, students, parents, and community members collaboratively strive to embody the school motto: "To be the best we can be." Their journey over the last 10 years is filled with rich moments and pupils who are proud of who they are and aspire to the school motto.
Raah-e-Nanak premiered at our festival in Chandigarh in February. Raah-e-Nanak is a documentary that follows a journey from Sangrur, Punjab to Kaza in the Spiti Valley, exploring everyday acts of kindness inspired by Sufi and Sikh traditions. The film showcases ordinary individuals whose selfless actions positively impact their communities, highlighting how compassion transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. Through diverse landscapes and stories, it celebrates the enduring influence of Guru Nanak's teachings on human kindness.
Beat by Beat is set to premiere at our Sikhlens festival in Chandigarh in February 2026. Beat by Beat is an intimate journey through resilience, healing, and transformation, following individuals whose lives are forever changed by One Beat’s care. From a mother finally holding her long-awaited child, to the liberation from chronic pain, to the joy of first sight, education in rural India, and the rise of an orphan training to be a doctor—this documentary unveils the profound stories that redefine hope and purpose, moving from darkness to light, from struggle to strength, one beat at a time.
GHAR will also premiere at our Sikhlens festival in Chandigarh this February. GHAR is a unique integrated living community in India that houses orphaned girls, women with disabilities, and the elderly under one roof, creating a nurturing environment where three generations support each other while fostering education, dignity, and companionship. Founded by retired Colonel Mickie Uberoi, this self-sustaining community transforms lives by creating true family bonds across generations.
Sikh Motorcycle Club-Across the vast landscapes of Canada, a unique brotherhood roars to life on two wheels. From coast to coast, Sikh motorcycle clubs unite riders bound not just by their love of the open road, but by their unwavering commitment to serve others. These aren't your typical biker gangs—they're charitable warriors on Harleys, their turbans flowing in the wind as they partner with major organizations like Khalsa Aid, the Canadian Cancer Society, and Guru Nanak Food Bank. Every ride tells a story of community engagement; every mile raises funds for those in need.
In a groundbreaking display of religious accommodation, provinces like Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario have embraced these riders' faith, exempting turban-wearing Sikhs from mandatory helmet laws. This is the inspiring true story of how faith, freedom, and the call of the road converge to create something extraordinary—a movement where every throttle twist serves a higher purpose, and every ride becomes a journey toward making the world a better place.
We hope to premiere this film at our annual festival in Southern California November 21st-23rd. Our dedicated advancement team is working tirelessly to secure the remaining funding needed to bring this premiere to fruition.
