INSIGHT
Documentary
Overview
INSIGHT is a one-hour current affairs programme by Channel NewsAsia (CNA) that looks at political, social, and economic issues throughout Asia and beyond.
The episodes we worked on explored a wide range of social and economic issues shaping Thailand’s future: Thailand’s demographic crisis and efforts to reverse its plummeting birthrate in one of the world’s fastest-aging societies; the mounting debt crisis squeezing Thailand’s middle class amid sluggish economic growth; and the rise of the controversial 'Passport Bros' movement, which is bringing Western men to Southeast Asia in search of ‘traditional wives’ — sparking new debates around gender, culture, and modern relationships.
About the Project
Nicolas worked as a cinematographer on several episodes in Thailand. The episodes took him to various parts of the country from age care centres in Bangkok, maternity wards in rural hospitals and IVF clinics as well as on the Thai - Myanmar border looking at the work of people fighting human trafficking to known scam centres in Myanmar. Each episode made up of dozens of interviews give a nuanced look at every topic from a variety of angles.
