Kadal (Sea)

Most of us fail to realise that ‘Nature’ is a reflection of Humans.
What we do to them, would eventually come back to us.
Maybe the best word is not ‘Reflection’, it’s called ‘Boomerang’.

Kadal’s storyline is universal – Leaving behind something we love. It could be anything to anyone. Relationship, money, fame, but to my characters is their life. In a nutshell, Kadal is about hope. The hope that we wish to secure for our future generation. The hope of seeing a beautiful sunrise over greenery fields.

Topics such as Global warming and rising sea level might sound like a bunch of Geography topics. The pamphlets and documentaries about such topics are either too sophisticated or boring to even look at it. Even my dad says, floods… cold temperatures and storm is not going to hit Singapore. But we are wrong. I need my viewers to come to reality, to realise that we, Singapore and Singaporeans are also a possible victim of climate change.

Anything can happen anytime, and we all blame the nature. But climate changes are not sudden choice of Mother Earth. It’s just a boomerang effect on what we did to our world, now hitting us back. We all have a part to play in it. Saving the earth is every individual's responsibility. Maybe it’s too late to prevent, but it’s never too late to realise the reality, make the right moves and save our Earth.

And I hope after watching Kadal, maybe you would turn off your lights when you don’t need it.
