Under the Turban to Air on Documentary Showcase

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the award-winning documentary Under the Turban on November 22, 2024.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Under the Turban follows a young Sikh family as they travel the globe, meeting diverse communities of Sikhs from vastly different cultures to understand not only their history, but also what it means to be a Sikh in the modern world.

Directed by Satinder Garcha and co-directed by Meghan Shea and Mike Rogers, Under the Turban began with a simple question posed by Satinder's nine-year-old daughter: "Papa, what does it mean to be a Sikh?" In answer, Satinder and his family embarked on what ultimately turned into a five-year mission to find out. The feature-length documentary follows the family as they travel the world, encountering Sikhs from every walk of life—from religious leaders and historians to ultrahip fashionistas and members of a Sikh motorcycle club—all to better understand their place in the modern world.
