Story of a French man who became British
to become an Indian-Sikh
Releasing, 2024
Darshan Singh né Michelle Rudel, born in the south of France, found his way to Punjab via England through his love for vegetarianism, organic farming and poetry.
He was baptised into Sikhism, married, adopted Punjab as his home and started organic farming.
Today he is on the front line to save Punjab’s culture of bravery, honesty, integrity, and arduous work, which Punjab and Sikhs are known for, and which have vanished due to politics and the lack of noble ideals.
Witness the hilarious mishaps, cultural clashes, and heartwarming moments as Darshan embraces his new identity, battling bureaucracy, befriending locals, and ultimately discovering a love that transcends boundaries. This is a tale of transformation, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of a man who redefines his destiny in the land of five rivers.
