London, UK – July 31st, 2024 – A consortium of Sikh producers is set to uncover a controversial chapter in British history through their upcoming international film, 1984: The Attack (The British Hand). This ambitious project will explore the alleged complicity of the British government in the 1984 attack on Harmandir Sahib complex (Golden Temple) in Amritsar, India.
As part of their commitment to historical accuracy and transparency in making the landmark film, the producers’ decision to pursue legal action follows historic revelations by investigative journalist Phil Miller, who disclosed evidence of the British Special Air Service (SAS) advising and assisting in the planning of the attack. These revelations suggest a continuation of British foreign policies, casting a long shadow over their supposed withdrawal from colonial rule.
About the Film
1984: The Attack (The British Hand), the film, aims to lay bare a painful chapter in Sikh, Punjab and the Indian history, delving into the intricate details and geopolitical causes of the attack on Harmandir Sahib. The film seeks to present a balanced narrative, highlighting the perspectives of those directly affected by the events as well as the broader political implications, while emphasizing Britain’s enduring influence.
Statement from the Producers
“We believe that historical truth should be accessible to all, and it is our mission to bring this veiled chapter of history to the forefront,” say the producers of the film. “Phil Miller’s investigative work has provided us with a foundation, but there are still many questions unanswered. The British government’s transparency is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of the events that transpired. Our film will provoke thought, urging audiences to reflect on the past and its impact on generations of Sikhs/Punjabis in the present.”
On involvement of major Hollywood studios, they say: “We want to have control over depiction of the events unfolded in the script. We’ll be open to involving movie studios should we agree on fundamental points, though.”
About Phil Miller’s Revelations
Phil Miller revealed in his investigative report that the British SAS played a role in the planning stages of the attack on Harmandir Sahib. His findings have stirred significant public and media interest, prompting calls for the declassification of related documents. Miller’s work suggests that the British government’s actions were in line with a broader pattern of imperialist intervention, control and protecting its own agenda.
Impact and Significance
This film is poised to be a significant milestone in historical cinema, shedding light on a contentious and impactful period in recent history. By pursuing the release of classified documents, the producers aim to provide an unvarnished account that honors the memories of those affected and contributes to the broader discourse on historical accountability and justice.
The producers intend to do a fundraiser for the judicial review of the unreleased documents in UK courts, which will help in making a more accurate film of the events of 1984.
