Filmmaker Sherman Ong explores the lives of a handful of people struggling with the paradoxes of a changing world in this independent drama. While Singapore is an island nation surrounded by the ocean, they've long faced a shortage of fresh water and must purchase water from other nations to meet the needs of its people. At the same time, as climate change causes the water level to rise, Singapore's land mass is slowly beginning to shrink, and as time goes on both water and space will become a greater premium. In Flooding In The Time Of Drought, Ong focuses on the lives of several immigrant couples in Singapore at a time when the shortage of water has become a crisis, and no one is certain if they're dealing with a short-term dilemma or a long-term disaster. Touching on the growing population of immigrants in a crowded nation, political unrest in Singapore and Indonesia, intolerance in a nation of growing diversity as well as the traditional human elements of love, sex, jealousy, anger and violence, the film casts its eye on the common elements that bring us together as well as those which threaten to tear us apart. Flooding In The Time Of Drought was an official selection at the 2010 Rotterdam International Film Festival.
