Synopsis
Documentary film is about the surviving Sikh community of Afghanistan who have been caught in the political crossfire in Afghanistan since the rise of the Taliban regime to power in 1992. It deals with the testimonies of the proud Afghan Sikhs who have been a part of the culture and heritage of Afghanistan since the seventeenth century and how they barely scrape a living to survive in this war torn country today.
