Flying Sikhs provides an intimate portrait of the Sikh pilots who valiantly contributed to British success in both world wars. The history of the Sikhs who flew in the Royal Flying Corps, the Royal Air Force and the Indian Air Force has been forgotten, yet their bravery was recognised widely both within the armed services and the public during the dark days of the Blitz and the brutal Japanese invasion of south east Asia.
Written and directed by award –winning filmmaker Navdeep Singh Kandola, Flying Sikhs include are interviews with the last remaining Sikh pilots from World War II and will be followed by a panel discussion.
A short documentary produced by Sikhpoint.com The Prisoner’s Song by Michael Singh (20mins) will also be screened on the night.
