This upcoming documentary is a powerful exploration of the shared history of India and Pakistan, two nations with a complex and often fraught relationship. Focusing on the recent opening of the Kartarpur Corridor – a historic “Peace Corridor” that enables Sikhs in India to make a pilgrimage to the mausoleum of Guru Nanak in Kartarpur, Pakistan – the film promises to offer a unique insight into this remarkable example of cross-border cooperation.
Through the eyes of an Indian Sikh embarking on this sacred journey for the first time, viewers will witness the profound impact of this historic agreement, and the important role played by religion in thawing otherwise frosty relations between India and Pakistan. By placing this experience within the broader context of India and Pakistan’s long and often volatile history – a history that has placed Sikhs, the fourth largest religious community in India, at the crossroads of competing national identities – the documentary offers a deep dive into some of the most complex and culturally significant themes of our time.
