Choices

admin — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 02:34:16 +0000

A Sikh gets accosted by an angry man accusing him of being a terrorist. In his mind he goes through scenarios of different ways he could react to the person. The first is to get angry, the second is to try to not look like a Sikh and fit in. In the third scenario he becomes neutral and teaches the man about what it means to be a Sikh.

This short film is done in a comedic fashion, but it also has a moral: As Sikhs we must compassionately educate others about us to end discrimination instead of getting angry or dejected.
