Guru Nank: The Founder of Sikhism - Life & Legacy

Directed By Gerald Krell & Adam Krell

This year will mark the 550th birthday of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. As a visionary, feminist, and innovator, Guru Nanak was a revolutionary leader who stood up for the rights of people on the fringes of society. Despite his vision and the relevance of his teachings, virtually no Americans have heard of Guru Nanak

This documentary will educate Americans about Guru Nanak and about his vision to create a more equal society. In addition, it shows examples of Sikhs making a difference in the lives of many people here in America and other parts of the world by following the teachings of Guru Nanak!

The documentary will air on PBS in early 2020.

The film includes narration by reputable religious figures such as Bishop Chane, a Christian leader and former head of the Washington National Cathedral; Rabbi David Rosen, a Jewish authority and well respected interfaith leader; Bob Thurman, a Buddhist scholar and one of Time magazine’s 50 most influential people; and Dr. Saran, a Hindu scholar from Georgetown University. Also featured are well-respected authors including Ambassador Navtej Sarna, Roopinder Singh, Nikky Guninder Kaur, and Kamla Kapur.
