Sense of Home

This show comes shortly after the news that ever increasing Singaporeans are migrating out of Singapore to overseas.

The show, synopsis below, is simply propaganda from the government trying to psycho citizens not to emigrate. Those who had left probably will never come back. Those who wanted to leave will not be swayed. Those who are on the fence, there is still a chance to hold them back.

If the state of the country is desirable, citizens will not harbour the thoughts of leaving. Push and Pull factors, guess the push factors are becoming more and heavier in weight.

Home – and the definition of home – is a universal theme that everyone grapples with at some point or other of their lives. Is home where we come from? Is home where our family lives? Or is home really just a state of mind or an emotion?
The theme of Home is especially relevant to a Singapore audience – a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic country evolved from migrant communities that has, in recent years, seen an emigration (and immigration) of talent and manpower.
The debate rages on: have Singaporeans abroad abandoned their roots? Are Singapore residents from other parts of the world, who call Singapore home, the next generation of Singaporean talent?
Sense of Home is an anthology series about Singaporeans who are abroad – living, working, traveling…or simply lost. There are four stories which are connected by the central theme of Home, and what it means to each of the characters, although each story may convey this idea from a different perspective or aspect.
Sense of Home will be the first English drama series that will be entirely filmed abroad, and shot on HD. The four episodes will be filmed in Hungary, New Zealand, Cambodia and China.
Cast: Rui En, Fiona Xie, Edmund Chen, Andrea De Cruz, Hady Mirza
