Rex vs Singh
Richard Fung, John Greyson, Ali Kazimi
Canada, 2009
This 30-minute experimental video stages scenes from the 1915 trial of two Sikh mill workers who were entrapped by undercover police in Vancouver and accused of sodomy. The story is told four times: first, as a period drama; second, as a documentary investigation of the case; third, as a musical agit-prop; and fourth, as a deconstruction of the actual court transcript.
