TrailerAs 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.Genre: DramaActors: Omid Abtahi, Heather McComb, Ron Canada, Frank Zieger, Navi Rawat, Ajay Mehta, Todd Babcock, Dennis Haskins, K.T.

Critic Reviews of "Ocean Of Pearls"
Rachel Saltz New York TimesMay 07, 2010Ocean, smoothly directed by Sarab S. Neelam, mostly comes down on the side of tradition and, like Amrit, is dutiful and virtuous. And, like him, it's also a bit too well mannered to make a strong impact.
Kevin Thomas Los Angeles TimesDecember 18, 2009That Neelam was a medical doctor before becoming a filmmaker gives his picture its exceptional impact and complexity.
Lance Goldenberg L.A. WeeklyDecember 17, 2009Rest assured that all is resolved with a minimum of muss, fuss and imagination.
Walter V. Addiego San Francisco ChronicleAugust 21, 2009It sounds heavy-handed, and it is. Although the film looks professional, it feels like a soap opera with a message. High marks for good intentions, but that's about all.
Tom Long Detroit NewsAugust 07, 2009The acting here is surprisingly even and Neelam rarely betrays himself as a newbie behind the camera. For a local indie film, this Ocean is smooth indeed.
Avi Offer NYC Movie GuruMay 08, 2010A provocative, well-acted and moderately heartfelt drama that suffers from lack of bite and boldness while resorting to oversimplifications, facileness and contrivance.
Chuck Bowen Slant MagazineMay 06, 2010Ocean of Pearls is, underneath the gross sentimentality, racist and shameless, and it might be dangerous if it weren't so forgettable and on-the-nose.
