Synopsis
Passion and practicality collide in this clash of worlds, as a
fast-developing nation finds itself unable to balance her newfound
economic success with her waning heart and soul. THE KALLANG WAVE is the story of Singapore told
through the dreams and pain of the nations footballers and the
fans and staff who stand behind them. Glory, frustration,
and a mounting sense of despair colour an impassioned debate about
the heart of sport and the realities of economic prosperity.
From interviews and match footage to history and coverage of
significant events, THE KALLANG WAVE gives a voice to the people
behind the scenes, and tries to give credit to the unsung heroes of
Singapores football legacy, whom after years of tearful effort now
find their values and achievements abandoned by the new generation
of Singaporeans.
THE KALLANG WAVE is a film about passion, pride, identity,
priorities, and a society coming to grips with its place in a cold
and unfamiliar new world.
