First aired on CNA in 2002, this video is now being packaged and
marketed by local company Innoform Media and is currently on sale
in all major bookstores in Singapore. According to this website,
the "89-minute two-part documentary takes a look at how Lee brought
Singapore to independence, and interestingly gives viewers a
glimpse into his personal life."
Somehow, the DVD managed
to escape the clauses defined in Section 33 of the Films Act, which
essentially prohibits any film that is "directed towards any
political end in Singapore". That includes any film
which "contains wholly or partly either partisan or biased
references to or comments on any political matter", including
references to the Government, a Member of Parliament, and "any body
whose objects relate wholly or mainly to politics in Singapore, or
any branch of such party or body."
