Said Zahari

Tan Pin Pin employs a strictly external perspective for this portrait of her hometown, the tropical economic powerhouse of Singapore, interviewing political exiles in London, Thailand and Malaysia, who are to this day unable to return home.

An interview with Said Zahari, a staunch anti-colonial newspaper editor who was accused by the Singapore government of alleged involvement in pro-communist activities and subsequently detained without trial from 1963 to 1979. This film is banned by the Singapore government for "undermining public confidence in the Government."
