In Singapore's multicultural landscape, the decline in mother tongue usage is a growing concern, as noted by Education Minister Chan Chun Sing.

Here comes Qrious Culture, supported by the Lee Kuan Yew Fund for Bilingualism, who addressed this by revitalizing bilingualism among the youth.

The latest season features bilingual documentaries by storytellers like Priyanka Tamilarasan, who honors Bharatnatyam dancer Ambiga Krishnasamy, and Yusri "Shaggy" Sapari, who captures the voices of Singapore’s heavy vehicle drivers; these films highlight the importance of preserving cultural and linguistic heritage.
