Show Notes

Pei Lin is a documentary filmmaker from Singapore who believes in the transformative power of storytelling to spark change, creating ripples that resonate across time. Her work has taken her from documenting a sprawling petroleum megastructure in Malaysia to the intimate home of a second-generation refugee in Hong Kong. Previously, as a producer at Our Better World—a non-profit digital storytelling platform—she championed impactful stories addressing issues such as mental health, gender equality, and education. Lady! marks her debut as a feature documentary director.
