Ocean of Pearls comes to Toronto on Sunday Dec 13

Its not often that a fantastic, Hollywood-standard Sikh films comes to the screen. Ocean of Pearls is just such a film.

Amrit Singh is of two worlds, but belongs to neither. A turban-wearing Sikh, he has lived his life in North America out of sorts and out of place, cast adrift at an uneasy crossroads between East and West. But when he is offered a prestigious position as a transplant surgeon in a Detroit hospital, the young doctor sees it as a opportunity to start fresh. He struggles to be the man he believes he is and at the same time the person he wants to be. His ambitious pursuit of success, however eventually leads to tragedy and it is only in defining his singular identity that he finds peace.

Ocean of Pearls is a fantastic film by Dr. Sarab Singh Neelam. This movie was years in the making and an amazing effort. This is a film that I would recommend to all Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike.
