We create cinematic documentaries preserving Sikh history, identity, and memories
Sikh stories deserve the big screen.
Sikh history is filled with stories of migration, resilience, identity, and sacrifice. Yet rarely seen through cinematic film.
We believe these stories deserve to be experienced on the big screen.

Many stories exist only through conversation, photographs, and family memory. As generations pass, some of those stories risk disappearing altogether.
Before us Films exists to preserve Sikh stories through cinematic documentaries that reconnect younger generations with heritage and bring overlooked experiences into public conversation.
We are building a long-term storytelling studio focused on preserving culture, identity, and memory through film.

Alongside our films, we aim to support:
Every documentary becomes part of a growing cinematic archive designed to preserve stories for future generations.

Internationally recognised for documentary storytelling and cultural preservation.

Guiding Principles
Stories Deserve Cinematic Scale
We believe culturally important stories deserve the same cinematic care, emotion, and ambition as mainstream film.
Preserving What Risks Being Lost
Many stories exist only through memory, oral history, and lived experience. Our work exists to help preserve them.
Reconnecting Generations
Through film, we aim to reconnect generations with history, identity, and heritage.
