Caldecott Productions International licensed two documentaries to ARTE France and KBS

Singapore, 12 March 2007 - MediaCorp's HD company, Caldecott Productions International is proud to announce that its documentaries Fagin and Oliver - The Asian Twist and Tribal Sex and Marriage: Pure Love, Pure Sex? have been licensed to broadcasters ARTE France and KBS after making their debut in MIPCOM 2006.

Caldecott Productions' key focus is producing and distributing world class high-definition Asian documentaries for an international market.

Fagin and Oliver - The Asian Twist (50 mins) documents a group of children who started working in the city streets of Indonesia at the young age of six. They leave their village life to find work to support themselves and their parents. We delve into the lives of these young ones to uncover the amazing stories of their courage and determination to survive against all odds.

Tribal Sex and Marriage : Pure Love, Pure Sex? (50 mins) spotlights on theunusual sex and marriage customs of Asia's remaining mountain tribes. Imagine a boy with two fathers and three mothers or a woman who has two husbands who are brothers. They marry to keep the tribal identities together. Stories about all the polys-gandry, -gyny and -gamy. Are human polyandrous by nature?

Ms Ong Hee Yah, Caldecott Productions' managing director, says, "We are delighted that our two documentaries have attracted the interests of European and Asian broadcasters especially when we had only started production nine months ago. This is a validation of the quality of our content and style. If the aim of the novel is to teach the heart to know itself, we hope that our documentaries will do likewise. Passion also drives action and we hope to make our physical and social environment a better one through our content."
