- This is a documentary film about 40 Sikhs who came to Victoria in 1906 to work at the Tod Inlet cement plant and in the limestone quarry that is now the site of the world-famous Butchart Gardens.
- At a time when Canadian Sikhs were experiencing severe persecution in their adopted country of Canada, ten Sikh men stepped forward to volunteer to fight for this country in World War I.
- The third film in a series about immigration from India, Dis-Immigration is a fascinating account of a young country clinging to its vision of a "White Man's Country" in the face of an increasing flow of would-be immigrants from Asia. The film reveals a little-known slice of Canadian history from the early 20th century leading up to and beyond the infamous Komagata Maru incident of 1914. Yet the story, told through the personal and family recollections of the descendants of the immigrants, hints at a change to come in Canada.
- Beyond the Gardens' Wall tells the story of the immigrant Sikh and Chinese workers of Tod Inlet, B.C. and the impact of the harsh immigration restrictions on their lives. The families of these Chinese and Sikh workers were actively prevented from joining them by the Canadian Government's "Head Tax" policy directed at the Chinese and the "Continuous Journey" restriction directed at East Indians.
