[Video] Becoming Singapore

Singapore is celebrating its bicentenary this year, and this documentary by Channel NewsAsia explores aspects of Singapore’s past, including archaeology. Link to the video below.

Eunice Olsen explores Singapore’s – and her own – forgotten past. Tracing back hundreds of years, this is an insightful and emotional journey into the faded histories of our ancestors.

Over two episodes, the series takes us on an evocative journey through Singapore’s landscapes to meet a variety of people with rich and diverse stories to tell. The series reflects that there’s not just one singular Singapore narrative, but a meeting of many tales.
