后港 Hougang: The Documentary (Trailer)

Описание: On this day 65 years ago, the Workers’ Party of Singapore was formed by Singaporeans who wanted to make things better in the country they loved. Today’s Workers’ Party members cherish the same dream. On this occasion, we are launching the trailer for our soon-to-be released documentary film on the history of Hougang and what has come to be known as the Hougang spirit. The film showcases the voices of past and present Hougang residents, alongside commentary by historians, public intellectuals, politicians, and volunteers. Charting Hougang’s history from the mid-eighteenth century, the film features personal recollections of growing up in Hougang, residents’ sentiments towards state-led redevelopment and relocation, and the political journey of the community in the context of the Workers’ Party having won the Hougang Parliamentary seat a little over 30 years ago. The full film is planned to be shown at public screenings in the next few months. More details will be released when ready. This film was a labour of love by a dedicated and talented group of film-makers.

Last but not least, we would like to thank Sudhir Thomas Vadaketh, Editor-in-Chief of Jom, Mark R. Frost, Associate Professor of Public History, University College London, Bryan Goh, PhD student in History, University of Michigan as well as Workers’ Party leaders Low Thia Khiang, Png Eng Huat, Dennis Tan, Kenneth Foo and many others for agreeing to be interviewed for this film.
