In September 2011, Sikhs from all over Britain gathered in Parliament Square to protest. The focus of their concern was the turban. Since the terrorist attacks of the 21st century Sikhs believe their turbans have singled them out for discrimination. In a case of mistaken identity the Sikhs claim they've been wrongly regarded as religious terrorists and subjected to increased airport security searches. This documentary traces the history of the turban in the Sikh religion, from its roots in Moghul India, through the battlefields of Europe, to the fight for British Sikhs to wear it without fear. It reveals that the turban is a crucial symbol of the Sikh faith - one that Sikhs will even risk their lives for.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
