Return to the Punjab
Narrated by ANDREW FAULDS
The Punjab in north west India is the homeland of the Sikh people. In a land fought over by Muslim and Hindu, the Sikhs created a unique religion in which they reconciled elements of both. Famous as warriors for 500 years, they are also noted for the extent of their migration around the world. This is the story of one Sikh family living in England who returned to the Punjab. The children have little memory of their homeland. For them it is a journey of discovery. For their schoolgirl daughter it is more than that. She is going back to be married to a man she has never seen. Her traditional wedding makes the climax of this film.
