Guru Nanak: The Founder of Sikhism

WED May 6 | 2p

This fascinating ﬁlm recounts the life story of the 15thcentury teacher and revolutionary activist from Punjab, India, who founded the Sikh faith – the world’s ﬁfth largest religion. The documentary also explores how Guru Nanak’s legacy inspires modern Sikh Americans to exercise compassion, take risks, challenge established norms, and help others.

Shades of Indigo

WED May 6 | 3:30p

This ﬁlm, which follows the story of Bellingham farmers Sam and Rob Dhaliwal, provides a glimpse into the Sikh immigrant experience in Washington state. It’s a story of passion for agriculture that runs deep in a family; a story of growth and prosperity, from a small patch of land to a sprawling 400-acre farm; and a story of a father’s grit and experience, combined with his son's academic and technological approach, as they work together to ensure the future of the farm for the next generation.
