Dastaar: Defending Sikh Identity film & video features
about the work
A restaurant owner beaten. A policeman fired. A 20-year subway conductor born in the U.S., threatened with job loss -- all for wearing the signature turbans of their religion, Sikhism. DASTAAR: DEFENDING SIKH IDENTITY examines the response of New York's Sikh community to bias, hate crimes, and other injustices since 9/11.
