Synopsis: A Sikh man with a full beard and turban, Amrit Singh
is often the target of racial profiling. But when he sees his dreams of
becoming Chief of Surgery at a state-of-the-art transplant center
dwindle because of his appearance, Amrit goes against a tradition he's
maintained his whole life and cuts his hair. Hiding this decision from
his girlfriend and family in Toronto is only the start of a series of
compromises Amrit finds himself making as he deals with hospital
politics and health care injustices. When his compromises result in the
death of a patient, Amrit begins to reexamine the value of the
religious traditions he'd turned his back on.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the
Alberta Cancer Foundation for Colorectal Cancer Research. In 2009, an
estimated 22,000 Canadians have been diagnosed with colorectal cancer
and 9,100 will eventually die from it (Canadian Cancer Society, 2009).
Overall, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from
cancer in men and women combined. One in 14 men is expected to develop
colorectal cancer during his lifetime and one in 27 will die of it. One
in 15 women is expected to develop colorectal cancer during her
lifetime and one in 31 will die of it (Canadian Cancer Society, 2009).
