the obs: a singapore story
Hailed as Singapore's most important independent band, The Observatory and their brooding, brilliant and confounding music are explored in this quietly contemplative music documentary. More than a band film, THE OBS: A SINGAPORE STORY looks back at the country's early nation-building period, when local music faced a clampdown by the government and the evolution of culture in a society of censorship.
