It is especially meaningful for us as the film’s underlying message of unity in diversity lends itself very well in Singapore multi-racial context. Hence, we thought this would be on ideal film to start the year with.

“Mystic India has been previewed by our science, humanities and social studies educators in Singapore and we have received very positive feedback about the educational value of this film.”
