The Story of the Turban (2012)

In September 2011, Sikhs across Britain protested in Parliament Square, concerned about their turbans. Following terrorist attacks in the 21st century, they feel their turbans have led to discrimination. They say they've been wrongly identified as religious terrorists and face heightened security at airports. This documentary explores the history of the turban in Sikhism, from its origins in Mughal India to its presence in European battles, and the ongoing struggle for British Sikhs to wear it openly. It shows how the turban is a vital symbol of their faith – a symbol Sikhs are willing to defend.
