We are moving worldwide with major screenings in scheduled in Australia of film: MISTAKEN IDENTITY.  This is part of our "global media event" after receiving three first prizes at American Film Festivals, six months after the release of this film. As the first ever film made on Sikhs in America to inform and educate Whites and non-Sikhs worldwide, we had "free screenings" to focus on the mainstream population in America and Canada (already hit over 22 US States) and Canada, moving into the UK (over 200 organizations want to screen the film, in case there is the first terrorist attack in Britain which may result in civil unrest); France, Germany ... Africa, India and onto Australia and New Zealand.

We are interested in working in partnership via New York, to promote India and the Sikh identity now that we have a Sikh Prime Minister.  It has not been easy to promote India and the subject of Sikhs in North America (numbers are too small for North America's mass sales and marketing).  So we propose marketingl DVDs and VHS to raise money to pay back our investors.  ORDER YOUR COPY NOW !!!  The film was produced five days after 9/11/2001 to inform and educate mainstream populations in North America, Europe, etc., to understand neighbors from different social, cultural and religous backgrounds ...

If you are interested, we can send you updated press releases and incredible digital photos.  Visit our website: www.cultural-diversity.co.uk/presentation.htm designed by our UK partners in Cardiff, Wales.
