Progress on the Community Voices initiative is moving steadily forward as we work toward our $100,000 fundraising target. Of the six documentary projects we originally set out to produce, five have wrapped filming — and our lineup has since expanded with a new film now entering development. Reaching our full funding goal will put us in a position to finish these stories and channel resources into fresh creative projects that honor the richness of diverse communities while connecting with broader audiences.
Films Currently in Production
Peter Singh’s Green Home tells the story of Peter Singh and Nino Kaur, a South Delhi couple who have transformed their house into one of the cleanest-air homes in the country. With over 15,000 plants, solar power, rainwater harvesting, and natural construction techniques, they maintain an indoor AQI of just 10–15 even when the city outside is choking with pollution. Built as a healing sanctuary after Neno’s battle with cancer, their home is a living example of how care for the environment can also care for the people within it.
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.
Films Premiered in 2025
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.
Gift of Light 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.
Raah-n-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.
Threads of Life (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.
Set to Premiere in 2026
Ride By Turbanators - 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.
Community Voices is pushing forward on its path to the $100,000 fundraising milestone. Hitting that target will give us what we need to bring current projects across the finish line and fuel new work that lifts up voices too often left out of the larger conversation — expanding the kinds of stories we're able to tell.
None of this happens without you. Your continued engagement and generosity are at the heart of everything we do as we work to get these stories in front of viewers around the world. Across the life of this initiative, we've now delivered 15 documentaries — each one a window into a distinct perspective and a richer understanding of our shared culture.
We're grateful for every bit of support you've shown us along the way.
