Mini documentary on Thaipusam, Singapore

While living in Singapore in Q1 of 2011, I took advantage of the my relaxed work-life balance, by an attempt of making a mini documentary on the religious Hindu festival Thaipusam. Without prior knowledge of the festival, Hindu religion, video editing or presenting techniques, I just put my Antrhopological knowledge, curiosity and smile to use which resulted in below video. Needless to say I’ve tried to make this small document with utmost respect.

Unfortunately for those not speaking my mother tongue, half of the content is in Dutch.
