News: The 1st English Documentary on Guru Nanak Airing Nationwide on PBS

“The nationwide airing of this documentary is a historic moment for the Sikh American community since this is the largest broadcast of the founder of our faith, Guru Nanak, in the United States. It is incredibly exciting to have so many television stations airing this film and to provide people an easy opportunity to learn about our faith,” Shawn Singh Ghuman, co-founder of the National Sikh Campaign and We Are Sikhs – a leading effort to educate people on the Sikh faith and its followers. “With the support of PBS, we are bringing an unparalleled level of Sikh awareness to thousands of Americans who have never heard of Guru Nanak and his messages of equality, tolerance, woman’s empowerment, and community service.”
