Our Community Voices initiative maintains steady momentum as we work toward our $100,000 funding goal. With nearly half of our target amount secured, we've completed filming on five of the six initial documentary projects and have grown our production roster by adding one new film to the lineup.
Reaching our full fundraising milestone will enable us to complete the remaining production in development while opening doors to greenlight fresh creative ventures that showcase diverse community stories and expand the voices we bring to audiences.
NASMDA, the North American Sikh Medical & Dental Association, is a leading national network that brings together 600–700 Sikh medical professionals at their annual gathering. Our latest Community Voices film, Healing Together: The NASMDA Story takes viewers inside this organization to explore how Sikh physicians and dentists unite to advance healthcare, mentorship, and service. Filmed during NASMDA's annual meeting, this organizational documentary captures their mission of compassion and excellence while showcasing how they inspire the next generation of medical leaders. The film will have its world premiere in January 2026 during the association's annual conference, which next year will include a Sikhlens-in-a-Box.
RANDHAWA FOUNDATION–Meet the noble Randhawa family, founders of the Randhawa Foundation, a US-registered NGO. This film shines a light on their incredible work — from organizing free medical camps for the underprivileged to running a school that educates and empowers children in their native village in India.
GIFT OF LIFE follows Dr. Gurpal Bhullar, an orthopedic surgeon, who organizes a free three-day eye camp in a small village in Punjab. Locals are offered check-ups, treatments, and even free surgeries — transforming lives and restoring sight, one patient at a time.
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.
We plan to premiere these films 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 these premieres to fruition.
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.
Our Community Voices funding campaign remains on track as we advance toward the $100,000 milestone. Meeting this financial target will enable us to complete current productions in the pipeline and provide opportunities to launch additional creative initiatives that amplify diverse viewpoints and expand storytelling inclusivity.
Your continued support and engagement are vital to our mission of bringing these impactful narratives to global audiences. Since launching, the Community Voices program has produced 15 compelling documentaries, with each film presenting distinctive viewpoints and rich cultural insights.
We deeply appreciate your ongoing commitment!
