Shelter - This Teen Nearly Gave Up When An Unexpected Guardian Angel Appeared // Viddsee.com

Abandoned by his father, Aaron, a 17-year-old Chinese boy, is left in debt and homeless, together with his mother and younger sister. They are forced to live in a tent at East Coast Park, against the backdrop of metropolitan, developing Singapore. The family meets a suspicious Indian man named Rashid, who claims to want to help them. Shelter focuses on a family’s spirited fight against cruel circumstances, and how Rashid restores their faith in people. This film will create conversations and provoke thoughts about racial stereotypes and prejudice in our society.

This film is part of 15 Shorts series, made by 15 film directors, each telling true stories of Singaporeans who performed powerful acts of selflessness between the 1970s and 1990s.

Directed by Sean Ng (Singapore)

Director's Statement:
In a fast moving society like Singapore, most of us have the instinct to distrust strangers just like our protagonist in this story. When we first received the story of Rashid Bakar, we wanted to tell the story from the perspective of one of the families he helped. Shelter tells the story of a jaded 17-year-old teenager who, as the family’s sole breadwinner, has been tasked with responsibilities that no one at his age deserves.
