Journalist Sunny Hundal explores the legacy of his brother Jagraj Singh, who abandoned a Westernised lifestyle in favour of becoming a prominent Sikh leader, sparking an unprecedented revival of young people returning to the faith with his activism.

Following Singh's death from cancer, Sunny reflects on their troubled relationship and examines the rise in religious activism in Sikh culture.
