The Water is Blue in Tanjong Katong

The Water is Blue in Tanjong Katong explores the enduring legacy of P. Ramlee through the memories of those who grew up with this films and songs. As Osman revisits places from his childhood now transformed by Singapore’s rapid redevelopment, his journey leads him to Malay Film Productions Studio; a rare surviving reminder of a once-thriving era of Malay cinema.
