Short Films - Honour Singapore

Through the Honour Film Initiative, we seek to honour the Invisible People of Singapore – hidden, unsung heroes who create a better life and a better world for others.

We seek to honour them as individuals deserving of dignity and respect.
These are their stories, told by filmmakers with a heart.
