SINGAPORE - All 15 short films from the creative project 15 Shorts are now available on Mediacorp's streaming platform meWatch.
With the addition of the final five films to meWatch on May 19, this marks the first time that all of the 15 Shorts - a collaboration between the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Centre and film production company Blue3Asia - are available to watch via the public broadcaster. Director Boo Junfeng's Plague, released in 2018, is about health worker Iris Verghese. She comforted patients with HIV/Aids in the 1980s, when they were shunned by society - a story that has newfound resonance amid the current coronavirus pandemic.
He adds:"Sadly, even though HIV patients are able to lead healthier, fuller lives today, misconceptions about the disease and the stigma in society that comes with it still exist. That, to me, is the bigger problem that plagues people living with HIV/Aids. It's got a lot to do with misinformation that feeds fear in people."
