A fast developing country situated on an island of just 693 square kilometres, Singapore has always struggled with land scarcity issues. Land reclamation is one of the solutions, and this was scheduled to be carried out at Pulau Ubin, a small islet northeast of Singapore.

Chek Jawa is an inter-tidal area encompassing six ecosystems in one square kilometre on Pulau Ubin and was discovered by local conservationists only in early 2001.

Since its discovery, the rich marine biodiversity of the area has drawn thousands of visitors to revel in its beauty. With land reclamation plans threatening to swallow the area’s thriving eco-systems, several groups of passionate volunteers campaigned to protect Chek Jawa, educating the public and providing feedback to the government.

This film tells the story of one of these groups – a special team of individuals who came together from all walks of life, and followed their hearts to make a difference against the odds.

Ratana is a 12-year-old Cambodian girl, living a tenuous existence in an impoverished rural village. Despite the suffocating pessimism of her fellow villagers, she dreams of a better life, and of building a new and permanent home for her family.

But a better future seems impossible until a local development agency suggests a radical plan for achieving her dream.  The rest of the villagers think that Ratana is mad to trust the ‘outsiders’, but she seizes the opportunity and sets herself on a collision-course with her family, the village and even Mother-Nature herself.

To succeed, Ratana will need to rise above the grind of daily survival and also grapple with the terrible legacy of the Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields ,pushing herself to the very limits of her strength and spirit.

To Speak is based on a true story.

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.

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.
