The Muted Drums (2026)

In the heart of Singapore, a student-led uprising against the Gaza genocide carries its defiant voice onto campus grounds, challenging both the muted complicity of institutions and the nation’s iron grip on public protest. What starts as a solemn tribute—a hushed display of shoes arranged in grief—soon becomes a flashpoint, pulling the demonstrators into the crosshairs of police surveillance. As the pressure mounts, the documentary shadows this small collective through the treacherous terrain of resistance, exposing the razor-thin boundary between honoring the dead and being branded a criminal. It’s a gripping portrait of what true solidarity costs when every whisper of dissent is policed, and every act of remembrance is a political landmine.
