About the film:<\/strong> Each day, about 60,000 vegetarian meals are prepared and shared by visitors to The Golden Temple. Anyone can participate in the preparation, cooking, serving and sharing of the free meal. In 2014 and 2015, students from the University of Michigan spent one month with SFSI affiliated faculty Jasprit Singh to study how the concept of langar (free community kitchen) works. The film is based on over five years of study of the langar and also incorporates experiences of UM students.<\/span><\/p>\n

Discussion panelists will include filmmaker Teresa Singh and UM students that participated in a trip to The Golden Temple. A light reception of Indian food will follow the event.<\/p>\n
