Premiering at the Picturehouse on March 25, The Kallang Wave is a homegrown documentary about Singapore told through our national sport: soccer. The 75-min documentary features interviews with local soccer greats like Quah Kim Song and Fandi Ahmad.

The documentary synopsis, from the official website:

Passion and practicality collide in this clash of worlds, as a fast-developing nation finds herself unable to balance her newfound economic success with her waning heart and soul. THE KALLANG WAVE is the story of Singapore told through the dreams and pain of the nation’s footballers and the fans and staff who stand behind them. Glory, frustration, and a mounting sense of despair colour an impassioned debate about the heart of sport and the realities of economic prosperity.

From interviews and match footage to history and coverage of significant events, THE KALLANG WAVE gives a voice to the people behind the scenes, and tries to give credit to the unsung heroes of Singapore’s football legacy, whom after years of tearful effort now find their values and achievements abandoned by the new generation of Singaporeans.

THE KALLANG WAVE is a film about passion, pride, identity, priorities, and a society coming to grips with its place in a cold and unfamiliar new world.
