Shirkers (2018)
Overview · Where to watch · Cast & crew · Reviews
There are movers, there are shakers, and there are shirkers.
In 1992, teenager Sandi Tan shot Singapore's first indie road movie with her enigmatic American mentor Georges – who then vanished with all the footage. Twenty years later, the 16mm film is recovered, sending Tan, now a novelist in Los Angeles, on a personal odyssey in search of Georges' vanishing footprints.
