Belly of a Nation 2
It is a difficult year for everyone, but the hardest hit are people in the F&B industry. The second season of Belly of a Nation premiers October 10, 2020. The series began pre-production in early 2020, but as Covid-19 took hold, delays to production due to lockdowns began to creep up on our schedule. On the flip side, the “circuit-breaker” style of lockdown created some drama to the lives of the hawkers profiled in this season. Their big question of survival now becomes more critical and in the aftermath of the circuit breaker, some of them have to make major decisions, whether to continue or to call it a day. The 4x 1 hr episode series, shot with single camera and over 9 months of 2020, observes the lives, trials of Singapore hawkers as they navigate the trying times of the year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&feature=youtu.be&v=wPwvcI8jZ5U
