The Changi Murals

A lyrical look at a set of five biblical murals painted by Stanley Warren that changed the lives of countless prisoners-of-war during the Japanese Occupation of Singapore. Stanley Warren was a prisoner of war, held in Changi Prisoner of War Camp at the Changi Military Base, a former RAF base. The murals were rediscovered in 1958 and Stanley Warren came back to Singapore three times to restore them. The film begins with a reenactment of Stanley’s return to Singapore and continues by depicting his and other prisoners’ lives at the camp.
