On Sept. 15, 2001, Balbir Singh Sodhi was killed in front of his gas
station in a suburb of Phoenix, Ariz. His killer believed he was
avenging the September 11 terrorist attacks by killing a Muslim, but
Sodhi was a Sikh. Since then the Sodhi family suffered another tragedy
when Balbir's brother was gunned down in San Francisco.
“A Dream in Doubt” is an immigrant story in a world in which patriotism

threaten his community. This intimate, hour-long documentary of one
man’s odyssey from persecution in India to embracing America as his
homeland proves that courage and hope have the power to overcome hate. Check out A Dream in Doubt
