In this episode I sit down with Shamsher Singh and Baljit Singh to discuss the groundbreaking new documentary film, 'Battle of Amritsar (1984). 

We start with thoughts on how the documentary has been received before moving on to the issues of censorship and overcoming the challenges associated with that. We then look how and why 1984 remains this pivotal moment for Sikhs across the world and then spend some time discussing battle itself before moving on to the importance of honouring the sacrifices and achievements of the Khalsa, by centering the conversation on sovereignty and Khalistan.
