Ghost Empire Singapore looks at the anti-homosexuality law in Singapore, section 377A, which criminalizes male homosexuality with up to two years of a prison sentence. A British colonial law, it is based on the Victorian era Labouchere amendment, the same law which criminalized Oscar Wilde in England a century ago. This film looks at two constitutional challenges being taken by Tan Eng Hong and Gary Lim and Kenneth Chee between 2010 and 2014, one resulting from a conviction as the result of sex in a public toilet, the other brought by a couple who have been together 16 years. This is a film in the Ghost Empire series, which looks at the impact of British colonialism on laws around the world. Half of the countries which currently criminalize homosexuality use British colonial laws or revised versions of these laws. The film also explores state censorship, Christianity and other colonial legacies including the death penalty.

When god Lowa created the world, he sent artists Lewoj and Lanij to paint colorful patterns onto the creatures on Earth. According to Marshallese lore, people learned from the artists and used colors to denote identity, rank, and duty. The Marshallese of today, however, face new challenges in navigating the colors of their past. Globalization, foreign military interests, and climate change converge in the Pacific where the Marshallese are trying to forge a path towards 'development.' The Undiscovered Country explores the clash between tradition and modernity by fusing documentary with animation and theater. Combining perspectives of local fishermen, students, politicians, and foreign educators with traditional stories and Marshallese adaptations of Shakespeare's Hamlet and The Tempest, it examines the impact of 'development' on Lowa's colorful world.
