In 1992, Singaporean film-maker Sandi Tan shot a road movie with two friends set across the city state, named ‘Shirkers’. But the film never saw the light of day after one of its benefactors sabotaged the project. Sandi Tan joins us to talk through why her film is now hitting screens in documentary form via Netflix and the disorientating 25-year journey to get it there.
