The idea for this documentary series came to me when I was on tour in Israel the year earlier. Pitched this series to CNA & MDA as a programme that could help Singaporeans understand each others beliefs better as I thought we could do with more harmony and understanding.
In the 2nd episode, a Singaporean Christian seeking new direction in life visits Israel to reflect on his faith. It ran as CNA’s Documentary of the Week during Christmas 2009 with a rerun on Easter 2010.
Look at faith through the eyes of Modern Pilgrims.
