Caldecott Productions International unveils new slate that spotlights on China and India

Singapore, 9 April 2007
- MediaCorp's HD Company, Caldecott Productions International will be heading to MIPDOC (the international showcase for documentary screenings) and MIPTV (the world's audiovisual and digital content market) this month with an exciting diverse mix of new and returning titles.

Caldecott Productions International will release a brand new slate of programmes on India and China this year. In August, it will showcase Heroes of India - a series ofseven stories on the most inspiring changes that ordinary Indians have made to their social environment. From issues arising from urban poverty, child marriages, health care to women's empowerment, each documentary unveils the real India and its true crusaders of equality and justice.

In the lead-up to the Beijing Olympics 2008, Caldecott Productions International will also put the spotlight on its China Specials.

Tea : The New Wine Appreciation is a documentary which looks at how tea is being consumed in China, how its quality and variety are being determined, as well as explore if there is a major difference between the Chinese way of drinking tea to that of the Westerner.

Paper Art is a story of how a folk artist grew to become one of China's famous modern artists - Gong Lin. Through his art, we get a unique view of modern and contemporary Chinese society.

To mark World Environment Day, Caldecott Productions International will also offer some of the most gripping stories on Asia's environmental issues - The Mud, The Sand, The Dump and Clean Water for Asia.

Returning titles like Fagin and Oliver - The Asian Twist and Tribal Sex & Marriages : Pure Love, Pure Sex, which were licensed early this year by Arte France in France and KBS in South Korea will also be offered.

The catalogue is strong on human interest stories rising from Man's relationships with his physical and social environment.
