February 25, 2017 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau

London: Much awaited Hollywood movie The Black Price, starring Punjabi folk singer Satinder Sartaaj, is set to be premiered in UK at Manchester Film Festival on March 03. The Black Prince will be play at 8:30pm on Friday the 3rd of March in the Metrolink Screen at the Odeon Printworks.

As per the website of Manchester Film Festival, The Black Prince is the tragic yet fascinating true story about the last King of the mighty Kingdom of Punjab.

Maharaja Duleep Singh, placed on the Throne at the age of five, died a pauper, alone in a Paris hotel. His life long struggle to regain, his identity, dignity, life and Kingdom, took him across the world, but, he was never allowed to set foot in his own Kingdom by the British. Torn away from his mother and taken to England at the age of fifteen years by the British, who absorbed his kingdom by clever manoeuvring and indoctrinated him into Christianity, never accepting his reconversion back into the faith of his birth, Sikhism.

Writer/Director Kavi’s Raz’s epic film is a vital look at Colonialism and the often shameful effects it had on a country, culture and individuals. It is a stunning piece of work that shines an important light on a part of history.
