I Dream of Singapore
2019 · Documentary · 78 min. · Singapore
Singapore, Asia’s richest country, is a dream destination for the people of Bangladesh. Not only can they find work there but also, supposedly, they have greater legal security. But the reality for migrant workers is very different, and many companies are quick to shirk their responsibilities as soon as problems arise. After a life-threatening injury, a construction worker lies endlessly in wait to return home. A social worker helps the transient-worker community in Singapore get back to their motherland, Bangladesh, after they cannot longer work, while discovering their deep hidden pain. Meanwhile in Bangladesh, the next generation is already waiting for a job in Singapore.
