A TV series based on true events that took place in Amritsar & Delhi in 1984
It is a very difficult task to make a film/series on the events that took place during 1984 in Amritsar and Punjab, Delhi and India.. Even after 37 years, no filmmaker dares to tell the truth about Amritsar Attack/Operation Blue Star. It took 2 years to pen down the story, script, screenplay and then dialogues. Prominent Sikh journalist Surinder Singh researched well on the subject and Directed the show with Malkiat Singh & Samar Chauhan.
What happened at the Darbar Sahib Amritsar during June 1984 is shown in this TV series "And They Occupied Me".
