Singapore Rebel (complete video)

This is the film Singapore's censorship board doesn't want people to see. It's the story of opposition politician Chee Soon Juan, who has been imprisoned twice for championing democratic change in the city state. The censors declared it a "party political film" and it was pulled from April 2005's Singapore International Film Festival line-up after the director was warned he could face two years in jail if the screening went ahead. Directed by Martyn See. 'Singapore Rebel' has been selected to premiere in two human rights film festivals this month. The inaugural New Zealand Human Rights Film Festival and the Amnesty International Film Festival (USA) will host a series of screenings in Auckland, Wellington and West Hollywood. Film-maker Martyn See will not attend the festivals. He is now under investigation by the Singapore police for "the making" of 'Singapore Rebel'

This is the video that actually prompted me to get a Director's account on YouTube and take uploading more seriously. It's taken me this long to find the video again!

@yawnzzzzzz Governance isn't rooted in gratitude. Just because a political party has done well in the past doesn't mean it's infallible. Yes, we should be grateful for our first generation's leadership but that doesn't mean as citizens we are obliged to continue to support them if they should ever become not the most suitable or capable party to lead Singapore. When you cast your vote, you should do it for your nation and your fellow citizens, not for the political parties.

PAP = communists

@ngdj999 i agree to some extent, however, we the young generation, students in secondary schools and junior colleges and so on, we can change the government. the pap are not communists if people in it don't make it, and i feel that even though yes things are oppressive here, but aren't we already used to it?why is no one speaking up for the younger people? maybe we need to change a few policies and listen to the people more, for it is the people who actually make the government heard:)
