Eat to Live:Wartime Recipes is a documentary series about the resilience and culinary creativity of Singaporeans during wartime. This series is commissioned by the National Museum of Singapore and distributed by Objectifs Films.

The aching sensation of hunger was such a common experience during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore that it continues to persistently linger in the memories of the generation who lived through the occupation. These memories speak of the trauma of food scarcity, but they also reveal the ingenuity and resilience of a nation who had to adapt and make do with the little that they had.

Through personal testimonies, commentaries by scholars and experts, and rare oral recordings and archival photographs, Eat to Live: Wartime Recipes explores the historical circumstances revolving the search for food during one of the most difficult periods of Singapore’s history.

This special 2-DVD collection presents the best of acclaimed Malaysian arthouse filmmaker Woo Ming Jin’s films, The Tiger Factory and Woman on Fire Looks for Water.

In The Tiger Factory, 19-year-old Ping works in a pig farm and cleans dishes in a rundown restaurant but longs to go to Japan to work in a car parts company. Under the guardianship of her aunt, Madame Tien, she shuffles between two jobs. Tien is also involved in a secret “baby factory” scheme, pairing young women with illegal migrant workers with the aim of selling the babies for money. The two women survive each other in a symbiotic love-hate manner, until the true nature of her aunt is revealed to Ping.

Woman on Fire Looks for Water tells the story of a father and son, and their relationship with the women in their lives. Ah Fei sells frogs from his motorbike, while his father, Ah Kan, is part of a dying breed of fishermen in an old coastal village. They share a quiet, but strong relationship. The film follows these two characters as one of them faces death, while the other is only becoming a man.
