LATE NIGHT TALK SHOW
Two interns form a bond when they stay to take calls for a talk show amidst a controversial book-banning incident in Singapore.
But when their personal convictions are put to the test, first impressions start to unravel.
Background:
In July 2014, Singapore’s National Library Board sought to ‘pulp’ three children’s titles from its libraries, citing a ‘pro-family’ stance in face of the books’ references to same-sex parenting. By the time public debate ensued, one title had already been discarded. The remaining two titles were eventually reshelved into the adult section.
