Video Description (from Youtube)
In Singapore, everything seems clean, safe, and under control — but at what cost? This documentary takes you inside one of the world’s most strictly regulated societies, where even chewing gum or speaking too loudly on the subway can land you in trouble.Singapore: Surveillance State (2023)
Director: Ibar Aibar
Duration: 52 mins
Production: Nova Prod
Language: English
Country of production: France
Breaking these rules isn’t taken lightly — AI-guided robot dogs patrol the streets, and surveillance cameras follow citizens everywhere they go.
We meet everyday Singaporeans living under constant watch, from classrooms to hospital corridors. Free speech is tightly controlled, political opponents are silenced in court, and members of the LGBTQ community are monitored. Drug laws are among the harshest in the world, and even small amounts can lead to the death penalty. Executions have resumed after a pause during the global lockdown.
You’ll hear from those who’ve suffered under the system: a man who spent 25 years in prison for minor offenses and faced corporal punishment, and activists who dared to speak out — only to be jailed. We also follow a family whose father sits on death row, sentenced for carrying just over 30 grams of heroin.
This film asks: What does safety mean when it comes at the cost of freedom?
