As these Sikhs celebrate the 300th anniversary of the Sikh religious nation, their identity is being threatened by community conflicts, unflattering media portrayals and the influences of western culture. THE SAINT SOLDIER portrays several Vancouver-area Sikhs who share their stories and talk about the challenges they face in preserving their identity in Canada. From a nationally honoured teacher to a controversial female radio personality, a temple elder to a high-tech entrepreneur and an elderly immigrant who first abandoned the symbols of his religion in order to assimilate, they all explore what it means to be a Sikh in this country. <44mn 50s>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
