He renounced his French nationality as a protest against French government which don&#8217;t allow Sikhs to wear turban in France. Now, he is a farmer ,doing organic farming near Anandpur Sahib (Punjab). From this video we want to show that how great is Sikhi that a person from west adopted it ,but unfortunately our own generation is giving away their Sikh identity.</p>

After 2,500 miles of searching for answers, gathering the ideas of Sikhs and Non-Sikhs alike, and feeling the overwhelming kindness and hospitality of Sikhs in DC, a friend in Philadelphia, and busy filmmakers in NYC, I realized that yes, we must look for the answer, however we should not be discouraged if it seems we are not finding answers, because there is much to be learned by the journey itself.</p>

The well-organized Gurmat camp, with Veerjis from the SNSM (Malaysia) and youths from Bangkok as well, ensured that one had come to connect, learn, enjoy, and importantly grow to be a good Sikh citizen. Although the camp had a very convenient timeline, there was yet another event that stood a convincing obstacle in the path of this fruitful experience, which was the concert of the famous R&amp;B artist, Akon. It was this fallacious event that created reluctance amongst people that the Gurmat Camp was more imperative. Since many young people chose to attend Akon’s concert over the samelan, our Jatha came up with the brainchild of making a video related to the current situation that needed more attention that one thought. &nbsp;<br /> &nbsp;<br /> I, Chaetan Saheb, as the Jatha leader and director, on behalf of Nidhaan Jatha, hope that you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed while we enacting it and cherishing it till date.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="/filmfestival/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Langar-directors.jpg"><img style="margin-right: 7px" src="/filmfestival/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Langar-directors.jpg" alt="Langar---directors" title="Langar---directors" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-733" align="left" height="300" width="275" /></a></p>
<p> Based on the real life experience of an international student coming to study in the UK, this video depicts some of the pleasant and some not so pleasant experiences that he has on visiting the local Gurudwara. While he is more than overwhelmed to meet the Western Sikhs and is highly impressed with the devotion that they have towards the religion but he does find out some unpleasant practices on his regular visits to the Gurudwara.<br /> The intention of this video is purely to bring out such issues to the wider Sikh community about some of the practices related to the serving of Langar at some of the Gurudwaras. This is in no way a criticism of the management committee or the local people attending the services at the Gurudwara. Having said that we still feel there is still a huge opportunity for Sikhs to actually use the beautiful institution of Langar to actually spread the message of Selfless Service and Vand Chakna with the wider non-Sikh world around.<br /> We might have said something unreasonable or critical in our video, for which we beg your pardon. Please ignore our mistakes as ignorant youth who have started taking interest in Sikhi and have yet to learn a lot. Hope this effort of ours serves it purpose of actually putting this idea across to the revered Sadh Sangat and makes Sikhs’ think about it.</p>

The documentary inform everybody right form the beneficiaries to the benefiters that there is a place called ‘Baru Sahib’ in the himachal which is developing in order to serve people especially villagers living in the remote areas who are not well and are infected with many diseases from which they need to be cured. At this place huge medical camp is organized by the Kalgidhar Society free of cost, in order to serve the society for their benefit as well as to make the place healthy. <br /> &nbsp; <br /> Shooting this documentary was a great relax to the mind. In this selfish world there are people who work for the benefit of others without having any selfish material. There are the doctors who spend some time with the patients just not to give treatment of the disease but also to raise their inner satisfaction. </p>

Unfortunately, today we have blatantly undermined this relation.<br />             &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sikh boys today go for fair complexion and mere physical beauty, sikh girls also look for smart, handsome cut surds. In this dark age of kalyug, can we rejuvenate the Guru-sikh relation? Can we revive the ethos of Anand Kaaraj as a spiritual bondage?<br />  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Film made by SOCH group (Sikh Organization In Care of Humanity). http://sochnet.com</p>

The first segment which I am sending to you know is called Five Thieves. For the purposes of this contest, I may make them into one single film (dependant on what you recommend). But the reason why I have decided to make each one a minute long is because I want it to be a quick grabber where people (who may know nothing about Sikhi) can soak in some information. I have started 2 of the 5. Currently only one is totally finished and that is the one I have uploaded. I read the thing about the prize, and about sending in a quick video to show you. I have been wanting to enter the contest for the last 2 years but last year I was in Germany. I made this video I am sending you now a while back, and is not something that I have roughly put together as you will see when you watch it. </p>
<p>The first of the five videos is called &#8216;Five Thieves&#8217; and is designed to be a informative and useful video. I am also considering doing a videos on the Nirmala Sikhs, Akali Nihangs, and Sewapanthis. I am currently in my final year of university so I am quite busy for the next month, with completing my dissertation. I hope that I will have enough time to complete this project. </p>
<p>I am also a artist and you can see my other works at www.MrMessy.com and ranbassi.deviantart.com</p>
<p>The image which I have attached my ID image from my art website. If you don&#8217;t think its applicable, let me know and I can send you another one.&nbsp;</p>

An awareness on turban was created in Luiss university,Rome,Italy where in students participated in numbers and got a taste of cultural heritage from India.<br />  It was a moment of wonderful feeling of sharing the cultural heritage in one of the reputed universities in Rome, Italy when on 28th April 2009, an occasion on Turban was marked to bring awareness on the cultural heritage from the region of Punjab, India. The day started with incessant rain which was thought to be a mood spoiler but it proved out to be blessing in disguise as the original open location was shifted to one of the largest rooms of the University at Viale Romania. Luiss Guido Carli is a famous international university of Rome where students from many different corners of the world come to attend undergraduate, graduate and post graduate courses. It is also one of the most expensive universities known for its superb, state-of-the-art facilities for its students.</p>
<p>This experience helped me a lot in making this useful video.</p>

He comes to the U.S. for higher education which exposes him to a very different environment. He had to leave the comfort of Delhi and live in a place where not many people even know who Sikhs are. He had to face some harassment from the society and gets affected by them. But, by walking on Guru&#8217;s path and using the Power of Seva &amp; Simran, he rebuilds his confidence and starts living in high spirits again as before. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2" face="Verdana"><img style="margin-right: 7px" alt="" title="" src="http://fateh.sikhnet.com/sikhnet/filmfestival.nsf/0/8BAAF5105F7A5B8B8725734D005CBBC8/$file/AuthorPicture.jpg" align="left" border="1" width="" height="" /></font>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>

<p>&quot;Guru Nanak, please come back&quot; features a young Sikh boy named Bikram who although a reluctant believer in god has to finally seek his refuge to deal with the frustrations pent up within him owing to the ever increasing human suffering and miseries all around him.</p>
<p> A revelation dawns upon him that the age old teachings of Guru Nanak which withstood the test of time are still relevant and perhaps the only solution to all the problems in the world today.</p>
